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

labwork [276]

Answer:

A car engine has more power than a horse because a car engine does the same amount of work in time. Yasmin and Raj each had 10 boxes of equal weight to stack next to each other on the same shelf, at the same height and in the same arrangement. Yasmin completed the task in 2 minutes, while Raj took 3 minutes to stack his boxes. Raj applied less power than Yasmin because his stacking took more time to do the same amount of work.

A simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz
