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

The positron created in pair production travels a certain distance and loses all of its kinetic energy. It finally annihilates w
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In pair production, after the loss of Kinetic energy, the angular separation between the two photons is 180°.

Explanation:

  • Pair production is the process of formation of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter.

  • It is a process of direct conversion of radiant energy to matter.

  • The sum of the Kinetic energies of the formed particles amounts to a value of 4 MeV.

  • When the kinetic energy is lost, emission of two photons, each with an energy of approximately 1 MeV in the form of gamma rays takes place ( in opposite direction).

Therefore, the angle of separation between the two photons is 180°.

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it?AThe wavelength is cut in half, and t
Makovka662 [10]

The energy of a wave will remain constant if which of the following changes are made to it is given below

Explanation:

1.In electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields. In sound waves, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

2.First of all for light which is a electromagnetic wave c=frequency*wavelength. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases. This can be physically understood as the increase in red shift of the light. Also energy =h*frequency,hence increasing wavelength decreases the energy carried by the photon.

3.Wave frequency is related to wave energy. the more energy in a wave, the higher its frequency. The lower the frequency is, the less energy in the wave.
