Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.
When two different air masses meet, a boundary is formed. the boundary between two air masses is called a front. weather at a front is usually cloudy and stormy. there at four different fronts: cold, warm, stationary, and occluded
Energy is the ability to do work.
So work can not be done without the transfer of energy from one body to another.
Work is the transfer of energy.
Complete Question
An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick
Answer:
The largest total area of the oil slick 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of oil the escaped is 
The refractive index of oil is 
The refractive index of water is 
The wavelength of the light is 
Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n
It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question
substituting value
The are can be mathematically evaluated as

Substituting values
