Only 2% of the optical source frequency is the available channel bandwidth for an optical communicating system operating at 1000 nm. If an audio signal requires a bandwidth of 8 kHz, how many channels can be accommodated for transmission :

Two coils require 20 minutes and 60 minutes respectively to produce same amount of heat energy when connected separately to the same source. If they are connected in parallel arrangement to the same source; the time required to produce same amount of heat by the combination of coils, will be ___________ min.

The intensity of the light from a bulb incident on a surface is 0.22 W/m². The amplitude of the magnetic field in this light-wave is ______________ $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$9 T.

(Given : Permittivity of vacuum $$\in$$₀ = 8.85 $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$12 C² N^$$-$$1-m^$$-$$2, speed of light in vacuum c = 3 $$\times$$ 10⁸ ms^$$-$$1)

As per the given figure, two plates A and B of thermal conductivity K and 2 K are joined together to form a compound plate. The thickness of plates are 4.0 cm and 2.5 cm respectively and the area of cross-section is 120 cm² for each plate. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the compound plate is $$\left( {1 + {5 \over \alpha }} \right)$$ K, then the value of $$\alpha$$ will be ______________.
