Why a steel ship becomes magnetized as it is constructed?

Physics

Inessa [10]4 years ago

<em>Iron, and to a lesser degree, steel, can only become magnetised by passing an electrical current through it (an electromagnet). So a steel ship does not become magnetised in the accepted sense during construction. </em>

<span><em>However, any large mass of iron will affect the accuracy of a magnetic compass, causing it to deviate wildly from magnetic North. This problem was encountered when iron ships were first constructed in the mid-19 Century. It was overcome by mounting the compass in a 'binnacle', a housing containing two large soft iron balls either side of the compass itself, which counteracted the effect of the hull and balanced the compass so that it read correctly</em></span>

A very long wire carries a uniform linear charge density of 7.0 nC/m. What is the electric field strength 16.0 m from the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Electric field due to a long wire is given by

E = \frac{2 k \lambda}{r}

here

k =  9 * 10^9

\lambda = 7*10^{-9}

r = 16 m

E = \frac{2*9*10^9 *7*10^{-9}}{16}

E = 7.875 N/C

Complete Question

A thin film in air is made by putting a thin layer of acetone (n = 1.25) on a layer of water

(n = 1.33). When visible light (400 nm – 700 nm) shines normally on the film an observed from above, the bright reflected light looks kind of “purplish” with red light of wavelength 650 nm mixed some blue giving it that appearance and “greenish” light of wavelength 520 nm is completely destroyed. Determine the thickness of the acetone film. (you only need to worry about the red and green wavelengths, not the blue)

Answer:

The thickness of acetone is  d = 104 nm

Explanation:

A diagram showing this process is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

     The refractive index of acetone is n_a =1.25

     The refractive index of water is  n_w = 1.33

      The wavelength of the reflected light is  \lambda_r = 650nm =  650  *10^{-9}m

      The wavelength of the destroyed light is  \lambda_g = 520nm =  520 *10^{-9}m

       

Looking at the given data we can see that the

             n_a < n_w

This means that the light which the acetone-water layer would reflect will have a phase shift of \pi

  Again this make us to understand that the light reflected at the acetone layer will also have a phase shift of \pi

Since they would be having the same phase shift the two light would interfere

  For interference the condition for minima is mathematically represented as

             2 n_a d = (m + \frac{1}{2} ) \lambda_g

Where d is the thickness of acetone

                d = \frac{\lambda_g}{4 n_a}

Substituting values

              d = \frac{520 *10^{-9}}{4 * 1.25}

               d = 104 *10^{-9}m

               d = 104 nm
