A very thin film of soap, of thickness 170 nm, in between air seems dark. On the other hand, when placed on top of glass some vi

sible light is seen to shine from the film. How can this happen and what is the smallest visible light that creates constructive interference when we place the film on top of glass

Answer:

λ₀ = 2 d n

Explanation:

A soap film is a layer where the lus is reflected on the surface and on the inside of the film, these two reflected rays can interfere with each other either constructively or destructively.

Let's analyze the general conditions of this interference,

* When the ray of light reaches the surface of the film it is reflected, as the index of refraction of the air is less than the index of the film, the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

* When the ray penetrates the film, its wavelength changes due to the refractive index of the film.

          λ = λ₀ / n

where lick is the wavelength in the vacuum or air and n index of refraction of the film, in general this interference is observed perpendicular to the film, so the sine veils 1. the expression for constructive interference taking in what previous remains

         2d = (m + ½) λ

the expression for destructive interference remains

         2d = m λ

          2d = m λ₀ / n

When the film is placed on a glass plate whose index of refraction is greater than the index of refraction of the film, in the reflection in the lower part of the film another phase difference of 180º is created, for which we have a difference of total phase of 180 +180 = 360º, which is equivalent to no phase difference, therefore the two previous equations are interchanged.

Therefore where we had destructive interference now a cosntructive interference happens we can see the reflected light.

Find us the wavelength that this constructive interference creates

           2d n = m λ₀

           λ₀ = 2 d n / m

To find the minimum wavelength, suppose we observe the first interference pattern m = 1

         λ₀ = 2 d n

where d is the thickness of the film and n the index of refraction of the same

Nataliya [291]

The jnd for a 100-gram weight, according to Weber's law will be 10 gram.

<h3>What is Weber's law?</h3>

It should be noted that Weber's law asserts that the nature of any given stimulus will always affect how change is perceived. In other words, the size, weight, importance, etc. of the prior situation and the significance of the change both influence whether a change will be observed.

In this case, it was given that the jnd for a 10-gram weight was 1 gram, therefore, the jnd for 100 gram will be;

= 100 / 10

= 10 gram

Therefore, jnd for a 100-gram weight, according to Weber's law will be 10 grams.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
givi [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of Source

v_s = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v  = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})

(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0

Now the second expression will be,

f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})

290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})

290*343-145v = 343f_0

Dividing the two expression we have,

\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1

Solving for v, we have,

v = 22.12m/s

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
