Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3\lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the central point $O$ such that point $P$ is a maxima.

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}D$
  • B
    $\sqrt{8}D$
  • C
    $\sqrt{5}D$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{5}D}{2}$

In an industrial process,$10\, kg$ of water per hour is to be heated from $20^\circ C$ to $80^\circ C$. To do this,steam at $200^\circ C$ is passed from a boiler into a copper coil immersed in water. The steam condenses in the coil and is returned to the boiler as water at $90^\circ C$. How many $kg$ of steam is required per hour?
