When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
