A diver is swimming underneath an oil slick with a thickness of 200 nm and an index of refraction of 1.50. A white light shines

straight down towards the diver from above the oil slick. The index of refraction of water is 1.33. What is the longest wavelength of the light in water, ????????????????????????, that is transmitted most easily to the diver?

Answer:

Explanation:

thickness of oil t = 200 nm

index of refraction μ = 1.5

For transmitted light :---

path difference = 2μ t

For constructive interference

path difference = n λ , λ is wavelength  of light

2μ t = n λ

λ = 2μ t /  n

For longest λ , n = 1

λ = 2μ t

= 2 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 600 nm

Wavelength in water

= 600 / refractive index of water

= 600 / 1.33

= 451.1 nm Ans

Monochromatic light is incident on a pair of slits that are separated by 0.220 mm. The screen is 2.60 m away from the slits. (As
Naddik [55]

Answer:

a

   \lambda = 1.667 nm

b

     \theta  =  0.8681^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The distance of separation is d  =  0.220 \ mm  =  0.00022 \ m

    The  is distance of the screen from the slit is  D   =  2.60 \ m

    The distance between the central bright fringe and either of the adjacent bright   y  =  1.97 cm  =  1.97 *10^{-2}\ m

Generally  the condition for constructive interference is  

      d sin \tha(\theta ) =  n \lambda

From the question we are told that small-angle approximation is valid here.

So    sin (\theta ) = \theta

=>        d \theta  =  n \lambda

=>        \theta =  \frac{n *  \lambda }{d }

Here n is the order of maxima and the value is  n =  1 because we are considering the central bright fringe and either of the adjacent bright fringes

Generally the distance between the central bright fringe and either of the adjacent bright  is mathematically represented as

         y  =  D * sin (\theta )

From the question we are told that small-angle approximation is valid here.

So

       y  =  D * \theta

=>   \theta  =  \frac{ y}{D}

So

     \frac{n *  \lambda }{d } = \frac{y}{D}

     \lambda =\frac{d * y }{n * D}

substituting values

       \lambda =  \frac{0.00022 * 1.97*10^{-2} }{1 * 2.60 }

        \lambda = 1.667 *10^{-6}

        \lambda = 1.667 nm

In the b part of the question we are considering the next set of bright fringe so  n=  2

    Hence

     dsin (\theta ) =  n \lambda

    \theta  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{ n  *  \lambda }{d} ]

    \theta  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{ 2  *  1667 *10^{-9}}{ 0.00022} ]

    \theta  =  0.8681^o

Which of the following situations correctly describes power? Bill pushed a car for 5 minutes for 20-km while doing 15 J of work.
xxMikexx [17]
I'm warning you before i answer this i'm not guaranteeing i'm going to answer this wright but I'm pretty sure its bill pushed a car for 5 minutes for 20-km while doing 15 J of work. Why I think this is the answer is because it directly tells you the most information giving you the time it took him to move the object that distance and also telling you how many joule's of force he's exerting (power).
Hope this helped :)
