Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full

y reflective surface. The film has an index of refraction of nfilm=19. What is the smallest thickness t (in Hm) the film could have to get constructive interference?

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

{\lambda} is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

In a historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 86 m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Relative to Sir George's starting point, the knights collide at a distance of 38.43 m from Sir George's starting point.

Explanation:

Let the distance covered by Sir George be S_{1}

and the distance covered by Sir Alfred be S_{2}

Since the knights collide, hence they must have traveled for the same amount of time just before collision

From one of the equations of motion for linear motion

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where S is the distance traveled

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

and t is the time

For Sir George,

S = S_{1}

u = 0 m/s (Since they start from rest)

a =0.21 m/s²

Hence,

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} becomes

S_{1}  = (0)t + \frac{1}{2}(0.21)t^{2}\\S_{1}  = 0.105 t^{2}\\

t^{2} = \frac{S_{1}}{0.105}

Now, for Sir Alfred

S = S_{2}

u = 0 m/s (Since they start from rest)

a =0.26 m/s²

Hence,

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} becomes

S_{2}  = (0)t + \frac{1}{2}(0.26)t^{2}\\S_{2}  = 0.13 t^{2}\\

t^{2} = \frac{S_{2}}{0.13}

Since, they traveled for the same time, t just before collision, we can write

\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{S_{2}}{0.13}

Since, the two nights are 86 m apart, that is, the sum of the distances covered by the knights just before collision is 86 m. Then we can write that

S_{1} + S_{2} = 86 m

Then, S_{2} = 86 - S_{1}

Then,

\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{S_{2}}{0.13} becomes

\frac{S_{1}}{0.105}= \frac{86 -S_{1}}{0.13}

0.13{S_{1}}= 0.105({86 -S_{1}})\\0.13{S_{1}}= 9.03 - 0.105S_{1}}\\0.13{S_{1}} + 0.105S_{1}}= 9.03 \\0.235{S_{1}} = 9.03\\{S_{1}} =\frac{9.03}{0.235}

S_{1} = 38.43 m

∴ Sir George covered a distance of 38.43 m just before collision.

Hence, relative to Sir George's starting point, the knights collide at a distance of 38.43 m from Sir George's starting point.

The leader of a bicycle race is traveling with a constant velocity of +12.60 m/s and is 11.4 m ahead of the second-place cyclist
Svetllana [295]
Let the time be t.

so,In time t , distance travelled by 1st cyclist = 12.6 t

distance travelled by 2nd cyclist = 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2

Now, cyclist 1st is already 11.4 m ahead of 2nd cyclist.

so, 9.2t + 0.5 (1.5) t^2  = 11.4 + 12.6t

find t :

t =  6.77 sec
