Discuss the phase change condition due to reflection of light from a surface. Summarize equations of interference for thin film.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

if this surface has a higher index than in the medium where the light travels, the reflected wave has a phase change of 180º

Explanation:

When a ray of light falls on a surface if this surface has a higher index than in the medium where the light travels, the reflected wave has a phase change of 180º this can be explained by Newton's third law, the light when arriving pushes the atoms of the medium that is more dense, and these atoms respond with a force of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction.

When the fractional index is lower than that of the medium where the reflacted beam travels, notice a change in phase.

Also, when light penetrates the medium, it modifies its wavelength

              λ = λ₀ / n

We take these two aspects into account, the condition for contributory interference is

            d sin θ = (m + 1/2) λ

for destructive interference we have

            d sin θ = m λ

in general this phenomenon is observed at 90º

           2 d = (m +1/2) λ° / n

          2nd = (m + ½) λ₀

If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, what is the reaction force?
Sphinxa [80]
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
  • Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
  • If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
  • And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>The </u><u>reaction </u><u>force </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>water </u><u>pushing </u><u>the </u><u>swimmer </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>rightward </u><u>direction</u><u>.</u>

Hope you could get an idea from here.

Perpetual motion machines have fascinated people especially inventors for hundreds of years before the laws of thermodynamics be
Cerrena [4.2K]

Given the fact that energy conversion is not entirely efficient, it is impossible to produce a perpetual motion machine.

<h3>What is a perpetual motion machine?</h3>

The perpetual motion machine in one that is able to work continuously without stopping. This would mean that the efficiency of this machine must that the machine is 100% efficient which violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Thus, given the fact that energy conversion is not entirely efficient and energy looses cause machines not function effectively, it is impossible to produce a perpetual motion machine.
