The reason the efficiency is always less than 100% is because there is always some sort of friction in the machine.


Answer: because of friction

Auniform thin film of n=1.33 is on top of glass (n=1.5). When monochromatic light with tunable wavelength is directed from above
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There is reflection ( two times ) from upper and lower surface of the film . In both cases , reflection is from low to  high density medium so there is change in phase of 180 twice .

So for constructive interference

2μd = n λ₁ , d is thickness required , λ is wavelength n₁ is order of  bright fringe

For destructive interference ( minimum light )

2μd = (2n+1) λ₂/2

n λ₁ =(2n+1) λ₂/2

(2n+1) / 2n = λ₁ / λ₂

= 650 / 505

=   5 / 4 ( approx )

2n = 4

n = 2

2μd = n λ₁

2 x 1.33 x d = 2 x 650 nm

d = 488.72 nm

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. Where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.
