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

Is light fastest than speed and why.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

A 8.8 cm diameter circular loop of wire is in a 1.04 T magnetic field. The loop is removed from the field in 0.30 s . Assume tha
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.021 V

Explanation:

The average induced emf (E) can be calculated usgin the Faraday's Law:

E = - \frac{N*\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}  

<u>Where:</u>

<em>N = is the number of turns = 1   </em>

<em>ΔΦ = ΔB*A                                            </em>

<em>Δt = is the time = 0.3 s   </em>

<em>A = is the loop of wire area = πr² = πd²/4 </em>

<em>ΔB: is the magnetic field = (0 - 1.04) T                     </em>

Hence the average induced emf is:

E = - \frac{\Delta B*A}{\Delta t} = - \frac{(0- 1.04 T) \pi (0.088 m)^{2}}{4*0.3 s} = 0.021 V                      

Therefore, the average induced emf is 0.021 V.

I hope it helps you!

In addition to an all-round white light, what light(s) must power-driven vessels less than 65.6 feet (20 meters) long exhibit wh
Lemur [1.5K]
The vessel must also have red and green side lights.

The red light is placed on the port (left) side of the boat while the green light is placed on the starboard (right) side of the vehicle. The white lights are on both the masthead (front) and stern (rear) of the boat, unless the vessel is less than 39.4 feet, in which case the front and rear white light may be combined as only one white light.
