A wedge shaped air film is made between two sheets of glass using a spacer at one end of the glass sheets. If light of wavelengt

h 589 nm is used to illuminate the plates, how thick is the spacer if five dark fringes are observed between the edges of the glass

Answer:

1178 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light=\lambda=589nm=589\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the thickness of spacer if five dark fringes are observed between the edges of the glass.

Suppose that first dark fringe and fifth dark fringe near spacer, then the path length of light is 4 times the wavelength of light.

The light passes through air film is two times  then the change in air film thickness  from one edge to other is two times the wavelength of light.

Change in air film thickness  from one edge to other edge  is same as the thickness of spacer.

Therefore, thickness of spacer=2\lambda

Thickness of spacer=2\times 589\times 10^{-9}m

Thickness of spacer=1178 nm

Hence, the thickness of spacer=1178 nm

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by I(t) = Imax sin(ωt).
sammy [17]

Answer:

(a) emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)

(b) neither increasing or decreasing

(c) opposite to the flow of charge carriers

Explanation:

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by:

I(t)=I_{max}sin(\omega t)   (1)

(a) The induced emf is given by the following formula

emf_L=-L\frac{dI}{dt}    (2)

You derivative the expression (1) in the expression (2):

emf_L=-L\frac{d}{dt}(I_{max}sin(\omega t))\\\\emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)

(b) At t=0 the current is zero

(c) At t = 0 the emf is:

emf_L=-\omega LI_{max}

w, L and Imax have positive values, then the emf is negative. Hence, the induced emf is opposite to the flow of the charge carriers.

(d) read the text carefully

The mechanical engery of an object equals its
Katarina [22]

The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.
