Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

A CD is made up of thousands of pits arranged in the form of spiral tracks.These repeated patterns of pits form a thin film.

This film has the thickness of the order of the wavelength of the light which causes the interference of the waves of the light waves. The incident ray of light gets reflected from the top layer of the film partially and then after striking the bottom layer of the film creating a phase difference responsible for the constructive and destructive interference.

Between 1911 and 1990, the top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of 1.2 mm/y.T
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Angular speed, \omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

Explanation:

It is given that,    

The top of the leaning bell tower at Pisa, Italy, moved toward the south at an average rate of, v = 1.2 mm/yr

1\ mm/yr=3.171\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Velocity, v=3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s

Height of the tower, h = 55 m

The height of the tower is equivalent to the radius. Let \omega is the angular speed of the tower’s top about its base. The relation between the angular speed and the angular speed is given by :

v=r\omega

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

\omega=\dfrac{3.80\times 10^{-11}\ m/s}{55\ m}

\omega=6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s

So, the average angular speed of the tower’s top about its base is 6.90\times 10^{-13}\ rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence \lambda= 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n} , here t is thickness, \lambda is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm
