A thin film of oil (n = 1.27) is located on smooth, wet pavement. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the pavement, th

e film reflects most strongly red light at 640 nm and reflects no light at 548 nm. (a) What is the minimum thickness of the oil film? nm (b) Let m1 correspond to the order of the constructive interference and m2 to the order of destructive interference. Obtain a relationship between m1 and m2 that is consistent with the given data.

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on interference in thin films

refractive index of water is more than given oil so there will be phase change of π at upper and lower layer of the film .

a )

for constructive interference , the condition is

2μt = nλ where t is thickness of layer , μ is refractive index , λ is wavelength and n is order of the fringe

Putting the values

2 x 1.27 t = n x 640

2 x 1.27 t =  640 ( for minimum thickness n = 1 )

t = 252 nm .

b )

2 x 1.27 t = m₁  λ₁

for destructive interference

2μt = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2 x 1.27 t =(2m₂+1)λ₂/2

m₁ λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂/2

2m₁λ₁  = (2m₂+1)λ₂

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = λ₂ / λ₁

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = 548/ 640

2m₁ / (2m₂+1) = .85625

2m₁ = .85625 (2m₂+1)

This is the required relation between m₁ and m₂

You compress a spring by a distance of 0.2 m. The spring has a spring constant of 37 N/m. When you release the spring, it snaps
Serggg [28]
At that point it is no longer trying to uncompress nor is it trying to stretch.  This is the same thing as a pendulum at the bottom of its swing, no longer falling but not yet rising against gravity.  Thus the kinetic energy there is the same as the potential energy when it is compressed.  The energy of compression is
\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}
This gives E=0.5(37)(0.2)²=0.74J
This is the same as the kinetic energy when it is at natural length

What is the acceleration of a 10kg mass pushed by a 5N force?​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{5}{10} =  \frac{1}{2}   \\  = 0.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

In which situation is work not being done?
almond37 [142]

AS

work done =W = F.d = F d cosФ     (Ф is angle between force F and displacement d) If a body/object is moving on a smooth surface (friction-less surface ) .There is no force acting on that body.  F=0 so W=FdcosФ= (0)dcosФ ⇒ W=0

Now if a body is facing some amount of force but under the action of force there is no displacement covered. d=0 so W =FdcosФ= F(0)cosФ ⇒W=0

example:  A person is applying a force on rigid wall but wall remains at rest there is no displacement occurs in wall.

The third term upon which work done  dependent is angle between force and displacement i.e Ф. If Ф=90° then W= FdcosФ= Fdcos90⇒ W=0   ( as cos 90°=0)

a baseball is hit 3 feet above ground level at 100 feet per second and at an angle of 45 with respect to the ground. (g=32 feet/
LiRa [457]

Answer:

hmax=81ft

Explanation:

Maximum height of the object is the highest vertical position along its trajectory.

The vertical velocity is equal to 0 (Vy = 0)

0=V_{y}-g*t=v_{0}*sin(\alpha)-g*th\\

we isolate th (needed to reach the maximum height hmax)

th = \frac{v_{0}*sin(\alpha)}{g}

The formula describing vertical distance is:

y = Vy * t-g* t^{2} / 2

So, given y = hmax and t = th, we can join those two equations together:

hmax = Vy* th-g*th^{2}/2

hmax =Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha )^{2}/(2*g)

if we launch a projectile from some initial height h all you need to do is add this initial elevation

hmax =h+Vo^{2}*sin(\alpha)^{2}/(2*g)

hmax =3+100^{2}*sin(45)^{2}/(2 * 32)=81 ft
