Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

t_{oil} = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

\lambda = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda

For m = 0

2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm

At the same moment, one rock is thrown upward at 4.5 m/s and another thrown downward at 6.2 m/s. What is the relative velocity o
erastova [34]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) -10.7 m/s 

In fact, the first rock is moving upward with velocity +4.5 m/s, while the second rock is moving downward with velocity -6.2 m/s, with respect to a fixed reference frame. In the reference frame of the first rock, instead, the second rock is moving with velocity equal to its velocity in the fixed frame minus the velocity of the reference frame of the first rock:
</span>v=-6.2 m/s -(+4.5 m/s) = -10.7 m/s<span>
