Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The  largest total area of the oil slick  A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The volume of oil the escaped is  V  = 18000 \ L

    The refractive index of oil is n_o = 1.1

     The refractive index of water is n_w = 1.33

      The wavelength of the light  is \lambda = 485 \ nm =  485 * 10^{-9} \ m

         

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

          d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

      d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}    

      d = 218 nm    

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

        A = \frac{V}{d}

Substituting values

        A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}

        A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

_________ are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:0kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision=momentum after collision

Since the momentum of the two blocks have positive sign, it means they are moving in thesame direction

Therefore we use the formula

Momentum (A)+momentum (B)=Momentum (A)+momentum (B)

25+35=60+momentum (B)

60=60+momentum (B)

Momentum (B)=60-60

Momentum (B)=0kgm/s

1.a car sitting at rest on the road <br>balanced or unbalanced<br>explain your answer​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Balanced force

Explanation:

Balanced Forces, When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. ... Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass.
