In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.20 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a

liraira [26]

Answer:

(a). The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). The wavelength is 3472 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index = 1.20

Wavelength = 496 nm

Next wavelength = 386 nm

We need to calculate the thickness of the glass

Using formula for constructive interference

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

In first case,

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})496$ .....(I)

In second case,

$2nt=(m+1+\dfrac{1}{2})386$

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{3}{2})386$ .....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$(m+\dfrac{1}{2})496=(m+\dfrac{3}{2})386$

$110m=336$

$m=3.0$

Put the value of m in equation (I)

$2nt=(2+\dfrac{1}{2})496$

$t=\dfrac{(3+\dfrac{1}{2})496}{2\times1}$

$t=868\ nm$

The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of constructive interference

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{(m+\dfrac{1}{2})}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1\times868}{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

$\lambda=3472\ nm$

Hence, (a). The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). The wavelength is 3472 nm.

Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks

almond37 [142]

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of

kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine
