how would you find the gap size between 2 infinite plates given that the fluid is water and the plates are silicon? the temp of water is 20 C and I am assuming that the heat transfer coefficient is 390 W/m^2K. i remember doing this stuff in heat transfer with temperature profiles and stuff but...

DIFFRACTION PROBLEMS -- please help tough problems, any help or either one is greatly appreciated (1) Consider the single-slit diffraction pattern in figure V.2, which gives the location of the central maximum, and the zeros of the diffraction. If Z=1m and lambda=6*10^-7m, using the data...

One of my prelab problems for physics 3: The Moon is about 4*10^8 m from the Earth and has a diameter of about 3.2*10^6 m. You want a radar antenna which just covers the Moon with the central spot of its diffraction pattern. If the radar wavelength is 10 cm, what is the diameter of the radar...
