Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline. you notice a swirlingpattern

of colors caused by interference inside the gasoline film. The point directly beneath you is colored a beautifuliridescent green. You happen to remember that the index of refraction of gasoline is 1.38 and that the wavelength of greenlight is about 540 nm. What is the minimum possible thickness of the gasoline layer directly beneath you?

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of colored film we apply the theory of interference.

Condition that colored fringe is formed ( constructive interference)

2μt = λ/ 2 ( minimum order)

t = λ/ 4μ

= 540 / 4 x 1.38

= 97.83 nm

kow [346]
Remembering back to science I believe that temperature is on the Kelvin scale. The corresponding temperature on the Celsius scale would be very close to zero degrees which is the freezing point. The corresponding temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would be 32 degree which again is the freezing point.

If four vertical cables are holding up a rectangular, 100- Newton sign, how much tension is on each cable?
trasher [3.6K]
We may balance the forces in order to calculate the tension.
We know that there are no horizontal forces being applied. Next, the vertical forces are:
Weight (W) which is acting downwards
Tension in each wire (T) which is acting upwards
Because the sign is stationary, the downward force must equal the upward force. So we may write:
Weight = 4 * tension
W = 4T

100 = 4T
T = 25 N

The tension in each wire is 25 Newtons
