"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

An object has a mass of 60 kg. It decelerates from 50 m/s to 20 m/s when a resultant force of 300 N acts on it. For how long doe
Pavlova-9 [17]
  • Force=300N
  • Mass=60kg

Find Acceleration

\\ \rm\longmapsto F=ma

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=\dfrac{F}{m}

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=\dfrac{-300}{60}

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=-5m/s^2

Now

  • u=50m/s
  • v=20m/s

Using 1st equation of kinematics

\\ \rm\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \rm\longmapsto t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

\\ \rm\longmapsto t=\dfrac{20-50}{-5}

\\ \rm\longmapsto t=\dfrac{-30}{-5}

\\ \rm\longmapsto t=6

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 2.00 m/s. After 5.00s what is the speed of the mail
grandymaker [24]
The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s² downward.

This means that every falling object gains 9.8 m/s more downward speed
every second that it falls.

In 5 seconds of falling, it gains (5 x 9.8 m/s) = 49 m/s of downward speed.

If it was already descending at 2.0 m/s at the beginning of the 5 sec,
then at the end of the 5 sec it would be descending at

                                 (2 m/s  +  49 m/s)  =  51 m/s .
