To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the condition of path difference for destructive interference between the two reflected waves from the top and bottom of a surface.
Mathematically this expression can be described under the equation
Where
n = Refractive index
t = Thickness
In terms of the wavelength the path difference of the reflected waves can be described as
Where
\lambda = Wavelenght
Equation the two equations we have that
Our values are given as
Wavelength of light
Therefore the minimum thickness of the oil for destructive interference to occur is approximately 34.0 nm
Explanation:
The energy stored in an elastic objects as a result of deformation is called elastic potential energy. The energy stored in a spring is given by :
Where
k = spring constant
x = compression or stretching in an spring
While gravitational potential energy is given by :
PE = mgh
where
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height from ground
So, the factor affecting elastic potential energy but not gravitational potential energy is " spring constant ".
