Researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the fil

m and varying the wavelength of the light. She finds that light of wavelength 585 nm is reflected most strongly from the film.
A: What does she calculate for the minimum thickness of the film?

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

If the temperature is held constant during this process and the final pressure is 683 torrtorr , what is the volume of the bulb
Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume of the unknown bulb = X L

The volume of the system , after opening valve = (X + 0.72 L )

Use Boyles law gas equation,

P1V1 = P2V2 ( at temperature is constant )

Given:

P1 = 1.2 atm

P2 = 683 torr

Converting mmHg to atm,

1 atm = 760 mmHg(torr)

683 mmHg = 683/760

= 0.8987 atm

1.2X = 0.8987*(X + 0.720)

1.2X = 0.8987X + 0.6471

0.3013X = 0.6471

X = 2.15 L
