A soap bubble, when illuminated with light of frequency 5.27 Hz × 1014 Hz, appears to be especially reflective. If it is surroun

ded by air and if its index of refraction is 1.33, what is the thinnest thickness the soap film can be? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)

Answer:

1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

n_s = Refractive index of bubble = 1.33

f = Frequency of light = 5.27\times 10^{14}\ Hz

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

The wavelength of light is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{2n_st}{m-\dfrac{1}{2}}

Wavelength is also given by

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

m = 1 for minimum thickness

\dfrac{c}{f}=\dfrac{2n_st}{m-\dfrac{1}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{m-\dfrac{1}{2}c}{2n_sf}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{(1-\dfrac{1}{2})\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 1.33\times 5.27\times 10^{14}}\\\Rightarrow t=1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

The minimum thickness is 1.07004\times 10^{-7}\ m

How does the law of conservation of energy relate to the system shown in this model
egoroff_w [7]

Answer: The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system.

A spring with a rest length of 0.7 m has a spring constant of 70 N/m. It is stretched and now has a length of 2.5 m. What is the
pentagon [3]

Answer:

<em>113.4 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy</u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2

PE = 113.4 J

An aircraft flies at sea level at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the highest pressure that can be acting on the surface of the airc
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

An aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying Bernoulli's equation, we determine the highest pressure on the aircraft.

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2

where;

P is the highest pressure on the aircraft

\rho is the density of air = 1.204 kg/m³ at sea level temperature.

V is the velocity of the aircraft = 220 m/s

P = 0.5*1.204*(220)² = 29136.8 N/m²

Therefore, an aircraft flying at sea level with a speed of 220 m/s, has a highest pressure of 29136.8 N/m²
