Answer:

The correct option is  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  refractive index of oil film is k =  1.48

   The  thickness is t =  290 \ nm  =  290*10^{-9} \ m

   

Generally for constructive interference

      2t  =  [m  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{k}

For reflection of a bright fringe m =  1

 =>   2 * (290*10^{-9})  =  [1  + \frac{1}{2} ]*  \frac{\lambda}{1.48}

=>     \lambda  =  5.723 *10^{-7} \  m

This wavelength fall in the range of a yellow light

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2} kg

Height difference of pellet rise h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03 m

Spring compression x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

  mg(h_{f} -h_{o})  = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Where k = spring constant, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }

  k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }

  k = 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

The photographer realizes that with the lens she is currently using, she can't fit the entire landscape she is trying to photogr
dexar [7]

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.

What is focal length?

The focal length is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light.

For a standard rectilinear lens,

FOV = 2 arctan (x/2f)

FOV ∝ 1 / f

where x is the diagonal of the film.

Focal length (f) and field of view (FOV) of a lens are inversely proportional.

From the equation we can say that,

A shorter focal length gives you a wide angle of view which allows more view to fit in the frame.

Hence,

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.
