Answer:

When white light shines on the bubble, it acts as a prism. While some of the white light bounces back off, some of them pass through the prism forming fringes of colors. But then, they too bounce off the inner part of the film. So one set of light rays shine into a soap bubble, but two sets of rays come back out again. When they emerge, the waves that bounce off the inner film have traveled a tiny bit further than the waves that bounced off the outer film. So, we have two sets of light waves. After that, the waves starts merging (Just like the ripples in the pond) . Some add together while some cancel out. That is why we see the pattern of colors repeating in the thin film soap.

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

$F=mrw^2$

$m=$ mass of the corresponding bugs

$r=$ corresponding radial distance of each bug

$w=$ angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

$F$ ∝ $mr$

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.

Two identical spheres carry charges of +0.6 coulomb and -0.2 coulomb, respectively. If these spheres touch, the resulting charge

masya89 [10]

Answer:

2. +0.2 C

Explanation:

When the two spheres touch, the total charge will be redistributed such that the two spheres are at same potential:

$V_1 = V_2$
