Answer:

the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm

Explanation:

By definition we know that the phase between two light waves that are traveling on different materials (in this case also two) is given by the equation

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))

Where

L = Thickness

n = Index of refraction of each material

\lambda = Wavelength

Our values are given as

\Phi = 7(2\pi)L=tn_1 = 1.58n_2 = 1\lambda = 550nm

Replacing our values at the previous equation we have

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))7(2\pi) = 2\pi(\frac{t}{\lambda}(1.58-1))

t = \frac{7*550}{1.58-1}\\t = 6637.931nm \approx 6.64\mu m

the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm

A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit
Agata [3.3K]

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet

Tom [10]

This question is a very good one indeed! I am very happy you asked it. I would first like to say that, although energy is important, our planet is more so. That is why I feel like we should always try to explore ideas that are both useful to the human race but also useful in protecting our environment because what is the use in having energy if we will not be able to use it. That is why I feel that we should try at types of energy like solar and wind. The problem is finding ways that are less expensive and more efficient. For example, creating a wind energy system that creates a sizeable about of energy and also is not too expensive and hard to make like the wind turbines of nowadays. Also what comes into question is the effect of these ideas and I feel that although some of these may have harmful effects, they must be used. One thing though is that I do not agree in expanding on our oil and gas exploration because it has so many bad effects to our environment that it is hardly worth it. If we can find alternatives in these other sources, like many states in the USA are trying to do, then we will be able to move much faster in technology and also help protect our lovely planet.

timurjin [86]
<span>D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color We're looking for a chemical change. So let's examine the options and see what happening with them. A. adding cream and milk to the mixture She's just making a mixture here. No unexpected reactions or changes happen as she adds the cream and milk. So this is the wrong answer. B. mixing the sugar with water Dissolving the sugar in water. Once again, nothing unusual happens and if she were to evaporate the water, she'd be left with the original sugar. So this is the wrong answer. C. melting the sugar Just starting a simple phase change. Once again, no the right answer. D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color She's melted the sugar and has a clear fluid. As she continued to heat this fluid, it suddenly turns light amber. She has made a permanent change to the substance that she can't undo by simply physical means. She has converted part of the sugar into caramel. So a chemical change has happened here.</span>

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Gravity and forces form the axle (external forces) do not cause forces that tend to cause rotation around the turntable's axle.
