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

6) Find the speed a spherical raindrop would attain by falling from 4.00 km. Do this:a) In the absence of air dragb) In the pres

sleet_krkn [62]

We are asked to determine the velocity of a rain drop if it falls from 4 km.

To do that we will use the following formula:

$2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} a=\text{ acceleration} \\ h=\text{ height} \\ v_f,v_0=\text{ final and initial velocity} \end{gathered}$

If we assume the initial velocity to be 0 we get:

$2ah=v_f^2$

The acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity:

$2gh=v_f^2$

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

$\sqrt{2gh}=v_f$

Now, we substitute the values:

$\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(4000m)}=v_f$

solving the operations:

$280\frac{m}{s}=v$

Therefore, the velocity without air drag is 280 m/s.

Part B. we are asked to determine the velocity if there is air drag. To do that we will use the following formula:

$F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} F_d=drag\text{ force} \\ C=\text{ constant} \\ \rho_{air}=\text{ density of air} \\ A=\text{ area} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \end{gathered}$

We need to determine the drag force. To do that we will use the following free-body diagram:

Since the velocity that the raindrop reaches is the terminal velocity and its a constant velocity this means that the acceleration is zero and therefore the forces are balanced:

$F_d=mg$

Now, we determine the mass of the raindrop using the following formula:

$m=\rho_{water}V$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} \rho_{water}=\text{ density of water} \\ V=\text{ volume} \end{gathered}$

The volume is the volume of a sphere, therefore:

$m=\rho_{water}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)$

Since the diameter of the raindrop is 3 millimeters, the radius is 1.5 mm or 0.0015 meters. Substituting we get:

$m=(0.98\times10^3\frac{kg}{m^3})(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.0015m)^3)$

Solving the operations:

$m=1.39\times10^{-5}kg$

Now, we substitute the values in the formula for the drag force:

$F_d=(1.39\times10^{-5}kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})$

Solving the operations:

$F_d=1.36\times10^{-4}N$

Now, we substitute in the formula:

$1.36\times10^{-4}N=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2$

Now, we solve for the velocity:

$\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}A}=v^2$

Now, we substitute the values. We will use the area of a circle:

$\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^3})(\pi r^2)}=v^2$

Substituting the radius:

$\frac{1.36\cdot10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^{3}})(\pi(0.0015m)^2)}=v^2$

Solving the operations:

$70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}=v^2$

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt{70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}=v \\ \\ 8.4\frac{m}{s}=v \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the velocity is 8.4 m/s

Find the resistance of a stereo: current is 7 A voltage is 49 V.

pochemuha

Answer:

R = 7 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance. In this way, we have the following equation.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage = 49 [V] (units of volts)

I = current = 7 [amp] (amperes)

R = resistance [ohms]

Now clearing R.

R =V/I

R = 49/7

R = 7 [amp]

Which class of organic molecules includes those whose main purpose is long-term energy storage?

omeli [17]

Answer:

Fats.

Explanation:

A fat molecule which is called a Triglyceride consists of two main components which are glycerol and 3 fatty acids. Fats are solids and oils are liquids at room temperature. They also include saturated and unsaturated fats.

Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats which provides insulation from the environment for plants and animals.
