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

three resistors which values of 15 ohm 40 ohm 60 ohm respectively are connected in parallel. what is their equivalent resistance
VashaNatasha [74]

1) Equivalent resistance, 1/R = 1/15 + 1/40 + 1/60 = 8+3+2 /120 = 13/120

R = 120/13 = 9.23

2) Current, I = V/R = 115/9.23 = 12.45 A

A relief plane flying horizontally at 65.0 m/s is delivering a
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The height of the plane delivering a food package to people stranded on an island is 722.2 m.

<h3>Time of motion of the food package</h3>

The time taken for the food package to hit the ground level is calculated as follows;

X = vt

where;

  • X is horizontal distance traveled by the food package
  • v is horizontal distance
  • t is time of motion

t = X/v

t = 789/65

t = 12.14 seconds

<h3>Height of the plane</h3>

h = ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • h is height of fall of the food package which is height of the plane
  • t is time of motion of food package
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

h = (0.5)(9.8)(12.14²)

h = 722.2 m

Thus, the height of the plane delivering a food package to people stranded on an island is 722.2 m.
