A puddle of water has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavel

ength of light incident on the film is 560 nm and the indices of refraction of gasoline and water are 1.40 and 1.33, respectively, what must be the minimum thickness of the film to see a bright reflection? 100 nm 200 nm 300 nm 400 nm 500 nm

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

Given,

wavelength of light,\lambda = 560\ nm

refractive index of gasoline, n₁ = 1.40

Refractive index of water, n₂ = 1.33

thickness of the film, t = ?

Condition of constructive interference is given by

2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

For minimum thickness of the film m = 0

From the question we can clearly observe that phase change from gasoline to air

so, n = 1.4

2 \times 1.4 \times t = \dfrac{560}{2}

t = 100\ nm

Hence, the correct answer is option A

jonny [76]

Answer:

8400m

Explanation:

The engine that falls off would have the same constant horizontal velocity as the airplane's when if falls off if we ignore air resistance. So it would have a horizontal velocity of 280m/s for 30seconds before it hits the ground.

Therefor the horizontal distance the engine travels during its fall is

280 * 30 = 8400m

il63 [147K]

Answer: It is the same amount of weight as the girl is putting on the pogo stick. When you are pushing something downward then gravity will push back with the equal amount of force.
