    Double Slit Experiment glass thickness

    A double-slit experiment is set up using a helium-neon laser (lambda =633nm) . Then a very thin piece of glass ( n=1.50 ) is placed over one of the slits. Afterward, the central point on the screen is occupied by what had been the m = 15.0 dark fringe. How thick is the glass? I really need...

    Turbulent Boundary layer thickness on a flat plate

    I am really confused. Would you please tell me what the turbulent boundary layer thickness is on a flat plate? There is a well-known Schlichting formula in the previous editions of his book “boundary layer theory”, which is: \delta = 0.37 X Re^{-0.2} But actually I could not find this...

    Determine Wall Thickness for 1,000 in. Aluminum Tube to Support 10-kip Load

    An aluminum tube with an outside diameter of 1,000 in. will be used to support a 10-kip load. If the axial stress in the member must be limited to 30 ksi T or C, determine the wall thickness required for the tube. I used tau=shearing stress/area therefore 30(pie times 1-d)=10 but that is not...

    Thickness between glass plates

    Hi, I generally understand interference and Newton's ring/Young's double slit experiments, but I can't find the answer to a pretty simple question: When two glass plates are placed together and their is a gap of thickness "t", contructive and destructive interference leads to interference...

    Question regarding physical optics - (thickness)

    1. One of the two slits in a double-slit interference arrangement is closed with a thin strip of glass of refractive index 1.4 and the other slit is closed with a thin strip of transparent plastic with refractive index 1.7. On doing this, the centre of the interference pattern on the screen is...
