Soap films and bubbles are colorful because the interference conditions depend on the angle of illumination (which we aren't cov

ering in 126) and the variable thickness. If a soap film (n = 1.33) has its longest constructive reflection at the red end of the visible spectrum (700 nm), by how much must it thin (in nm) to shift the longest constructive reflection to the blue end of the spectrum (400 nm). Note that we are asking for the difference in thickness, and answer with a positive number.

Answer:

56.39 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have constructive interference total optical path difference should be an integral number of wavelengths (crest and crest should be interfered). Therefore the constructive interference condition for soap film can be written as,

2t=(m+\frac{1}{2} ).\frac{\lambda}{n}

where λ is the wavelength of light and n is the refractive index of soap film, t is the thickness of the film, and m=0,1,2 ...

Please note that here we include an additional 1/2λ phase shift due to reflection from air-soap interface, because refractive index of latter is higher.

In order to have its longest constructive reflection at the red end (700 nm)

t_1=(m+\frac{1}{2} ).\frac{\lambda}{2.n}\\ \\ t_1=\frac{1}{2} .\frac{700}{(2)*(1.33)}\\ \\ t_1=131.58\ nm

Here we take m=0.

Similarly for the constructive reflection at the blue end (400 nm)

t_2=(m+\frac{1}{2} ).\frac{\lambda}{2.n}\\ \\ t_2=\frac{1}{2} .\frac{400}{(2)*(1.33)}\\ \\ t_2=75.19\ nm

Hence the thickness difference should be

t_1-t_2=131.58-75.19=56.39 \ nm

and what is distance jeremy jumps from the ramp to the fire escape is _______ feet (round to the nearest tenth of a foot)
Cloud [144]

Answer:

sin(70°) =10/x

The distance Jeremy jumps from the ramp to the fire escape is <u>10.6</u> feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question shown in the picture attached, the vertical height Jeremy has to jump is: 15 - 5 = 10 ft

A right triangle is formed, where the angle between the hypotenuse (called x) and one of the legs is: 160° - 90° = 70°, and the vertical height Jeremy has to jump, is the leg opposite to that angle.

From sine definition:

sin(70°) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(70°) = 10/x

x = 10/sin(70°)

x = 10.6 ft

Suppose m = 2 + 6i, and | m + n | = 3√10, where n is a complex number.
Ksju [112]

Answer: a) √50

b) n = 1 + 7i

Step-by-step explanation:

first, the modulus of a complex number z = a + bi is

IzI = √(a^2 + b^2)  

The fact that n is complex does not mean that n doesn't has a real part, so we must write our numbers as:

m = 2 + 6i

n = a  + bi

Im + nI = 3√10

Im + n I = √(a^2 + b^2 + 2^2 + 6^2)= 3√10

            = √(a^2 + b^2 + 40) = 3√10

             a^2 + b^2 + 40 = 3^2*10 = 9*10 = 90

             a^2 + b^2 = 90 - 40 = 50

            √(a^2 + b^2 ) = InI = √50

The modulus of n must be equal to the square root of 50.

now we can find any values a and b such a^2 + b^2 = 50.

for example, a = 1 and b = 7

1^2 + 7^2 = 1 + 49  = 50

Then a possible value for n is:

n = 1 + 7i

true or false? no question?

if so

Faults because 50% is based on each time you flip not the total amount
