The concept required to solve this problem is related to thin film interference.

The path length difference between two waves one is reflected from top surface of the film and the bottom surface of the film is equal to twice the thickness of the film:

\gamma = 2t

Where,

\gamma = Path length difference

t = thickness

At the same time we have that the constructive interference condition for a thin film interference for strongly reflected rays is

\gamma = m\lambda

Where

\gamma = Path length difference

\lambda = wavelength

m = Any integer (order of the equation) which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

Equation both expression we have

2t = m\lambda

Re-arrange to find the thickness we have

t = m\frac{\lambda}{2n}

Our values are given as

m = 1

\lambda= 597nm

n = 1.38

Replacing,

t = (1)\frac{597}{2(1.38)}

t = 216.3nm

Therefore the thinnest thickness of the film is 216.3nm

How could you increase the potential energy of the apple?
VMariaS [17]
By putting an apple up on high ground. (That is 1 example)
This creates a higher gravitational force, and when it falls down it would have a lot of kinetic energy. But, if put on low ground, it wouldn't have enough potential energy to increase the kinetic energy.

A rollercoaster moves from the bottom of a hill and approaches the top of the hill. If friction between the wheels and the track
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The kinetic energy decreases, and gravitational potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The rollercoaster will slow down as it goes up the hill, so kinetic energy should not increase.

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near to end a of the rod (figure 1). What happens to end a of the ro
erma4kov [3.2K]

What happens to end a of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time is; It is strongly attracted.

<h3>Electrostatics</h3>

I have attached the image of the rod.

We are told that the ball is much closer to the end of the rod than the length of the rod. Thus, if we point down the rod several times, the distance of approach will experience no electric field and as such the charge on end point A of the rod must be comparable in magnitude to the charge on the ball.

This means that their fields will cancel.

Finally, we can conclude that when a charge is brought close to a conductor, the opposite charges will all navigate to the point that is closest to the charge and as a result, a strong attraction will be created.

This also applies to a strong conducting rod and therefore it is strongly attracted.
