Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf
Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t_{min = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 2(1.20)

t_{min = 750 / 2.4

t_{min = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b)

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t_{min = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t_{min = 750 / 4(1.50)

t_{min = 750 / 6

t_{min = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm
