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

Joe is measuring the time it takes for a ball to roll down a ramp. In this experiment Joe takes the measurement 5 times and gets
PolarNik [594]

 Step by step solution :

standard deviation is given by :

\sigma = \sqrt\dfrac{{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}}{n}

where, \sigma is standard deviation

\bar{x} is mean of given data

n is number of observations

From the above data, \bar{x}=24.88

Now, if x=24.8, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0064

If  x=23.9, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.9604

if x=26.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=1.4884

If x=25.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0484

If x=24.5, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.1444

so, \sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =\frac{0.0064+0.9604+1.4884+0.0484+0.1444}{5}

\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =2.648

\sqrt{\sum \frac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

\sigma =0.7277

No, Joe's value does not agree with the accepted value of 25.9 seconds. This shows a lots of errors.

Which statement about two objects having the same momentum is true?
Reil [10]

Answer:

The product of mass X velocity is the same for both

Explanation:

The momentum of a body is the product of its mass and velocity.

  Momentum  = mass x velocity

Two objects having equal momentum will have the same for the product of their mass and velocity.

  • It is amount of motion a body can produce.
