1. <u>Some drawbacks of electron microscopes:</u>

  • Price, size, repair, researcher learning and image artifacts arising from specimen preparation are the major drawbacks.
  • This form of magnification is a massive, burdensome, costly piece of equipment, highly sensitive to vibration and exterior magnetic field.
  • It must be held in an environment that is big enough to contain the microscope, as well as to secure and prevent any unwanted effect on the electrons.
  • Upkeep includes ensuring balanced voltage supplies, electromagnetic coil / lens currents and cool water circulation so that the specimens are not destroyed or damaged by the heat released during the electrons energization process.

2. If an object being viewed under the phase-contrast microscope has the same refractive index as the background material than "it would be difficult to see because the phase contrast microscope amplifies differences in the refractive index".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to improve the comparison of transparent and colorless specimens with the light microscopy pictures, thus phase contrast is used. This allows the visualization of cells and cell elements which would be hard to see using a standard light magnification. The phase comparison does not involve the destruction, fixation or staining of cells.

Due to diffraction and scattering phenomena which exist at the edges of these objects, large, extended specimens are also quickly visualized with phase contrast optical. As light transits through one medium to another, the velocity is changed in proportion to the variations in the refractive index between the two media. Therefore, the wave is either increased or decreased in velocity whenever a coherent light wave produced by the oriented microscope filament progresses via a phase specimen with a particular thickness and refractive index.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The volume increase, ΔV/V0 = 4 ✕ 10^-3

- The Bulk Modulus, B = 1.6*10^9 N/m^2

Find:-

Calculate the force exerted by the moonshine per square centimeter

Solution:-

- The bulk modulus B of a material is dependent on change in pressure or Force per unit area and change in volume by the following relationship.

                                  B = ΔP / [(ΔV/V)]

- Now rearrange the above relation and solve for ΔP or force per unit area.

                                  ΔP = B* [(ΔV/V)]

- Plug in the values:

                                  ΔP = (1.6*10^9)*(4 ✕ 10^-3)

                                  ΔP = 6400000 N/m^2

- For unit conversion from N/m^2 to N/cm^2 we have:

                                  ΔP = (6400000 N/m^2) cm^2 / (100)^2 m^2

                                  ΔP = (640 N/cm^2)

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
