A thin film of soap with n = 1.34 hanging in the air reflects dominantly red light with λ = 642 nm. What is the minimum thicknes

s of the film? Tries 0/20 Now this film is on a sheet of glass, with n = 1.55. What is the wavelength of the light in air that will now be predominantly reflected?

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of soap= 1.34

Refractive index  of glass= 1.55

Wavelength = 642 nm

(I). We need to calculate the minimum thickness

Using formula of thickness

t=\dfrac{(2m+1)\lambda}{4n}

Where, m = 0 for constrictive

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{(642\times10^{-9})}{4\times1.34}

t=1.197\times10^{-7}\ m

(II). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{m}

Where, m = 1

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1.55\times1.197\times10^{-7}}{1}

\lambda=371\ nm

Hence, The minimum thickness of the film and the wavelength of the light in air are 1.197\times10^{-7}\ m and 371 nm.

Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.
Virty [35]

Potential energy is directly related to the height of an object. Point 1 is higher than point 4, so the potential energy is greater at point 1.

An airplane is accelerating forward due to a force of 3320 newtons acting
Darya [45]

Two opposite forces generate a force whose magnitude is the difference of the two magnitudes, and whose direction is the same of the strongest one.

We have 3320 newtons forward, and 550 backwards.

So, the net force is forward, and has magnitude 3320-550=2770

a car initially at rest can accelerate at 7 m/s^2 how long will it take the car to reach 60 m/s and how far will it travel durin
Alex787 [66]

1. The time taken for the car to reach a velocity of 60 m/s is 8.57 s

2. The distance travelled during the time is 257.14 m

<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>

The acceleration of an object is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as

a = (v – u) / t

Where

  • a is the acceleration
  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time

1. How to determine the time

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
  • Time (t) =?

a = (v – u) / t

Thus,

t = (v – u) / a

t = (60 – 0) / 7

t = 8.57 s

2. How to determine the distance

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Acceleration (a) = 7 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
  • Distance (s) = ?

v² = u² + 2as

60² = 0² + (2 × 7 × s)

3600 = 0 + 14s

3600 = 14s

Divide both sides by 14

s = 3600 / 14

s = 257.14 m
