If a diver below the water's surface shines a light up at the bottom of the oil film, at what wavelength (as measured in water)

would there be constructive interference in the light that reflects back downward

Answer:

see that the entire spectrum of the visible is between the integers from 3 to 5 so only three wavelengths are reflected with constructive interference

Explanation:

This is an interference problem in thin films, the refractive index of water is 1.33 and the refractive index of oil is 1.5

Let's analyze the light beam path emitted by the diver.

* when the beam passes from the water to the oil with the highest refractive index, it has a phase change of 180º

* also the wavelength of light in a material medium changes

      λ_n =  λ / n

where  λ_n is the wavelength in the material and  λ the wavelength in the vacuum air and n the refractive index.

If we include these aspects, the constructive interference equation is

       2t = (m + ½)  λ_n

       2nt = (m + ½)  λ

let's apply this equation to our case

            λ = 2nt / (m + ½)

The incidence of replacement of the oil with respect to water is

        n = n_oil / n_water = 1.5 / 1.33

        n = 1,128

       

let's calculate

        λ = 2 1,128 t / (m + ½)

        λ = 2,256 t / (m + ½)

In your statement you do not include the value of the oil layer that is the thin film, suppose a value to finish the calculation

          t = 0.001 mm = 1 10⁻⁶ m

the formula remains

        λ = 2,256 10⁻⁶ / (m + ½)

Let's find what values ​​of m we have to cut light in the visible range (400 to 700) 10⁻⁹ m

     m + ½ = 2,256 10⁻⁶ / λ

     m = 2,256 10⁻⁶ / λ - ½

light purple lan = 400 10⁻⁹m

     m = 2,256 10-6 / 400 10⁻⁹ - ½

     m = 5.64 - 0.5

     m = 5.14

     m = 5

red light  λ = 700 10⁻⁹m

      m = 2,256 1-6 / 700 10⁻⁹ - ½

      m = 3.22 - 0.5

      m = 2.72

      m = 3

we see that the entire spectrum of the visible is between the integers from 3 to 5 so only three wavelengths are reflected with constructive interference

A thermally insulated vessel containing a gas whose molar mass is equal to M and the ratio of specific heats cP /cV = γ moves wi
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k

How much pressure is on the bottom of a pot that holds 20N of soup? the surface area of the pot is 0.05m2
fomenos

Answer:

400

Explanation:

Formula used in solution:

P = \frac{F}{A}

P - pressure,\: F - force,\:  A - area

The given information:

F = 20N

A = 0.05m^{2}

Solution

P = \frac{F}{A} = \frac{20}{0.05} = 20 * 20 = 400

Answer:

Pressure = 400 \: Pascals

The tin can with water in its bottom is heated to boil water and the steam is allowed to escape for some time. The open mouth is
Norma-Jean [14]

Explanation:

Water does expand with heat (and contract with cooling), but the amount of expansion is pretty small. So when you boil a can filled with water and seal it, the water will contract slightly as it cools. The can may kink slightly, but that will be it. Actually, most likely the only things you will be able to see is then top and bottom will be sucked in and go concave. Just like a commercial can of beans.

Now if you have a can with a little water and a big air space, things are completely different.

As the water boils, water vapour is given off. Steam. Let it boils for a minute just to make sure (nearly) all the air is expelled and the can is filled with steam.

Now when you put the lid on and cool the can, that steam condenses back to water, and goes from filling the can to a few drops of water. The can is now filled (if that is the right word) with a near vacuum, The air pressure, 15 lbs/square inch, will be pressing on every surface of the can, with nothing inside the can to resist it.

The can will crumple before your eyes.
