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

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?
Alina [70]
Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.

amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g
