“The primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization, while its speed in a vacuum, 299,792,458 meters per second, is one of the fundamental constants of nature.” I looked it up, this was the first thing that popped up:)

Answer:

In isotropic substances, there are only two optical properties that can be determined. One of these is the absorption color, as discussed above. The other is the refractive index. Tables of refractive indices for isotropic minerals, list only the refractive index for one wavelength of light.

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

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

Melting, of course. Just as how an ice cube melts to water.

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t

elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

$\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}$
