Explain briefly why the intensity reflected off the back surface of the film (i.e., the right surface, where there is a liquid-t

o-air interface) is 2.78% of the intensity of the beam that was transmitted through the front surface.

Explanation:

Taking the incident light to be traveling in the + x-direction so that it is at normal incidence to the left side of the film(referred to as the "Front side"). This means the beam transmitted into the liquid is essentially as strong as the incident beam.

Almost all the light that is reflected off the back surface will get through the front surface. (But only 2.78% gets re-reflected off the the front surface back to the right) this means that there are two beams reflected to the - x-direction, one from the front surface and one from the back, and these beams are of almost equal intensity.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks

How does a swimmers form affect the kinetic and potential energy’s?
oee [108]

When a swimmer is submerged into the water, the Gravitation energy is transformed into Kinetic Energy instead. Consequently, this also means that when the diver/swimmer chooses to get out of the water and becomes free from the water again, Potential Energy is restored. This is because it allows the swimmer to do further tasks.

Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: I = 9.0 A

Explanation: <u>Ohm's</u> <u>Law</u> is defined as the relationship between voltage and current: in a circuit, the voltage accross a conductor is directly proportional to the current.

The constant of proportionality is Resistance, whose unit is ohm (Ω).

so, Ohm's Law is

V = R.I

It is asked for the current, so, rearraging:

I=\frac{V}{R}

When added two more batteries, the voltage of the circuit triples:

V_{final}=3V_{initial}

Since they are directly proportional, if voltage triples, so does current:

I_{final}=3I_{initial}

I_{final}=3(3.0)

I_{final}= 9.0

The new current, when driven by 3 batteries is 9.0 A.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Thermal Power = 460W

Explanation:

From Stephan-Boltzmann Law Formula;

P = єσT⁴A

Where,

P = Radiation energy

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

є = Emissivity of the material.

A=Area of the emitting body

Now, σ = 5.67 x 10^(-8)

є = 0.6

Temperature = 30°C and coverting to kelvin = 30 + 273 = 303K

Area ; since we are to consider the sides of the human body as 2m and 0.8m,thus area = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6

Thus thermal power = 0.6 x 5.67 x 10^(-8) x303⁴ x 1.6 = 458. 8W

Normally, we approximate to the nearest 10W. Thus, thermal power is approximately 460W
