Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Why is water not used as a liquid in glass thermometers?
Maslowich

Answer:

Water is not able to be used as a thermometer liquid because of its higher freezing point and lower boiling point than the other liquids in general. If water is used in a thermometer, it will start phase variation at 0∘C and 100∘C. This will not help in measuring temperature, beyond this range.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 m/s^2 where as radial the component of acceleration is 8.77 m/s^2

Explanation:

As per the given data

u=π/4 rad

ω=u'=2 rad/s

α=u''=4 rad/s

r=e^u

So the transverse component of acceleration are given as

a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\

Here

r=e^u\\r=e^{\pi/4}\\r=2.1932 m

r'=e^u.u'\\r'=2.1932 \times 2\\r'=4.3864 m

So

a_{\theta}=(ru''+2r'u')\\a_{\theta}=(2.1932\times 4+2\times 4.3864 \times 2)\\a_{\theta}=26.32 m/s\\

The transverse component of acceleration is 26.32 m/s^2

The radial component is given as

a_r=r''-r\theta'^2

Here

r''=e^u.u'^2+e^u u''\\r''=2.1932 \times (2)^2+2.1932\times 4\\r''=17.5456 m

So

a_r=r''-ru'^2\\a_r=17.5456-2.1932\times (2)^2\\a_r=8.7728 m/s^2

The radial component of acceleration is 8.77 m/s^2

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What net force is exerted on the car?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

1000N

Explanation:

Based on force=mass*acceleration, if the acceleration is constant at 2 metres per second squared, 1,000kg*2m/s^2=2,000N of force.

If the acceleration steadily increases to 2m/s^2 in 20 seconds, take the average which is 1m/s^2 therefore force=1,000N

What happens whenever energy is transformed from one form to another?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
