Light waves are reflected from front and back surfaces of the thin films and constructive interference between the two reflected waves occurs in different places for different wavelengths. Light shining on the upper surface of the thin film with thickness t is partly reflected at the upper surface (path abc). Light transmitted from the upper surface is partly reflected at the lower surface (path abdef). The two reflected waves come together at point P on the retina of the eye. Depending on the phase relationship, they may interfere constructively or destructively. Different colors have different wavelengths, so the interference may be constructive for some colors and destructive for others.

Which theory states that if you are forced to smile at an event, you will enjoy it? A. The Schachter-Singer theory B. The Lazaru
Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. The facial feedback theory

Explanation:

The facial feedback theory as postulated by William James and connects back to the famous Charles Darwin talks about how facial expressions stimulate our emotional state of being. Based on this theory, the emotional experiences we have are determined by the looks on our faces.

According to the question, smiling at an event makes you enjoy it is an example of what the The facial feedback theory is explaining. Furthermore, smiling, which is a facial expression causes or stimulates an emotional state of enjoyment in that event.

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol

a cylinder has a radius of 2.1cm and a length of 8.8cm .total charge 6.1 x 10^-7C is distributed uniformly throughout. the volum
7nadin3 [17]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 ×10^{-2} m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 ×10^{-2} m

total charge (q) =6.1×10^{-7} C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

volume of cylinder = π ×r  × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 ×10^{-4} × 8.8 ×10^{-2}

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

ρ = 6.1×10^{-7} ÷   122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u>10^{-1}<u> C</u>

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.
