Why is 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast?

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Michelson contrast is used for patterns where the distribution of bright and dark segments is nearly equal.

It is given by:

m= \frac{I_{max}-I{min}}{I_{max}+I{min} }

where I_max = maximum illumination and I_min = minimum illumination

we know that

typically, I_min = 54% of I_max  (general standard)

or I_min = 0.54 I_max

putting this value in above equation to get m

this approximately corresponds to m = 0.3 or 30%

hence, 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast

a shell fired from a cannon at 60 ° from horizontal strikes a target 20m high at a distance 80m. Calculate the initial velocity
stich3 [128]

consider the motion along the X-direction

X = horizontal displacement = 80 m

V_{ox} = initial velocity along the x-direction = v Cos60

t = time of travel

using the equation

X = V_{ox}   t

80 = (v Cos60) (t)

t = 160/v                                         eq-1


consider the motion in vertical direction :

Y = vertical displacement = 20 m

V_{oy}  = initial velocity in Y-direction = v Sin60

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 160/v

using the equation

Y = V_{oy}  t + (0.5) a t²

20 = (v Sin60) (160/v) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (160/v)²

v = 32.5 m/s

If this decay has a half-life of 10.2 years, what mass of 60.8g carbon-14 will remain after 20.4 years
OLEGan [10]
20.4 years is 20.4/10.2 = 2 half-life cycles, which means a quarter of the starting mass or 15.2 g will remain after this time.
