Anti-reflective coatings on lenses use thin-film interference to eliminate the reflection of a particular color. Suppose a glass

lens (ng = 1.55) is covered with a thin film (nf = 1.35) to prevent green light (λ = 521 nm) from being reflected.
a. Write an expression for the minimum thickness the film can have, t.
b. Calculate the minimum thickness, t, in nanometers?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$n_g=1.55$

$n_f=1.35$

$\lambda=521 nm=521\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

a.We have to find the expression for the minimum thickness the film can have ,t.

Condition for destructive interference

$2nt=(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

$t=\frac{(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda}{2n}$

For minimum thickness m=0

Then, $t=\frac{\lambda}{4n}$

b.Substitute the values

$t=\frac{521\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.35}=96.5nm$

How much work w is done by the electrostatic force on the moving point charge?

V125BC [204]

As we know that electrostatic force is a conservative force

so we can say by the condition of conservative force

$F_c = -\frac{dU}{dr}$

here we can rearrange the above equation as

$dU = - F_c.dr$

now integrate both sides

$\int dU = - \int F_c . dr$

Now we know by the definition of work done by a force is given by

$W = \int F.dr$

now work done by conservative force is given as

$W_c = \int F_c . dr$

Now from above work done by electric field to move charge from one point to other is given as

$W_{EF} = \int F_{e}.dr = - \int dU$

so here work done is given as

$W_{EF} = U_i - U_f$

so change in potential energy is given by work done

The gravitational force law, deduced by Newton in the 1660's, is remarkably similar to Coulomb's law. Recall that the universal

viktelen [127]

Answer:

a. $F=7.83\times 10^{-51} N$

b.Attractive

Explanation:

We are given that

$F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{R^2}$

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2$

Mass of an electron, $M_1=9.11\times 10^{-31} kg$

Mass of proton, $M_2=1836\times 9.11\times 10^{-31} kg$

Distance between electron and proton,R= $3.602nm=3.602\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

a.Substitute the values then we get

$F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1836\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}}{(3.602\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$F=7.83\times 10^{-51} N$

b.We know that like charges repel to each other and unlike charges attract to each other.

Proton and electron are unlike charges therefore, the force between proton and electron is attractive.

An object whose weight is 100 lbf experiences a decrease in kinetic energy of 500 ft lbf and an increase in potential energy of

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

a) $v_2=35.60ft/sec$

b) $h_2=45ft$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Weight $W=100lbf$

Decrease in kinetic energy $dK.E= 500 ft lbf$

Increase in potential energy $dP.E =1500 ft lbf.$

Velocity $V_1=40$

Elevation $h=30ft$

$g=32.2 ft/s2$

a)

Generally the equation for Change in Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

$dK.E=\frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2-v_2^2)$

$500=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{100}{32.2}(v_1^2-v_2^2)$

$v_2=35.60ft/sec$

b)

Generally the equation for Change in Potential Energy is mathematically given by

$dP.E=mg(h_2-h_1)$

$1500=mg(h_2-h_1)$

$h_2=45ft$
