The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated

with a layer of silicon monoxide of index of refraction 2.00. What is the minimum coating thickness needed to ensure that light of wavelength 480 nm and of perpendicular incidence will be reflected from the two surfaces of the coating with fully constructive interference?

Answer:

60

Explanation:

According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-

The condition for constructive interference is

2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}

= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}

t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}

Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer

= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}

= 60

Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness

Answer:

Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Explanation:

  • At any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the speed of  the wave, the wavelength, and the frequency, as follows:

       v = \lambda* f  (1)

       where v is the speed, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

  • Rearranging terms, we can get λ from the other two parameters, as follows:

       \lambda = \frac{v}{f}  (2)

  • Since v is constant for sound at 343 m/s, we can find the different wavelengths at different frequencies, as follows:

        \lambda_{1} =\frac{v}{f_{1}} = \frac{343m/s}{440(1/s)} = 0.779 m  (3)

        \lambda_{2} =\frac{v}{f_{2}} = \frac{343m/s}{442(1/s)} = 0.776 m  (4)

  • The difference between both wavelengths, is just the difference between (3) and (4):

       \Delta \lambda = \lambda_{1} - \lambda_{2} = 0.779 m - 0.776m = 3e-3 m (5)

       ⇒ Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Define homogeneous mixtures and give 3 examples.<br><br> ASAP please 25 points?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Homogeneous mixtures may be solids, liquids, or gases. Examples include steel, wine, and air. A homogeneous mixture is a solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has a uniform composition. No matter where you sample the mixture, the amount and type of components is the same.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

317.52 mi/hr

Explanation:

First convert Meters into miles as the answer is required in miles/ h

1000m = 0.62 mi

Now, convert second into hours

7.45s = 0.0001 hr

The speed of the boat would be

v = 0.62/0.0001

=317.52 mi/hr

Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes? they are centered at the poles?
Arturiano [62]
<span>A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.</span>
