The very top of the film shows no reflected light, indicating that the thickness is less than 1/4 the wavelength of visible ligh

t within the film, since the phase change on reflection for the beam from the first surface of the film is Ï radians and the phase change on reflection from the second surface of the film is 0 radians, making the interfering rays mostly out of phase from that part of the film. Given this information, what is the approximate thickness of the film at the first bright fringe counting from the top of the film, in terms of the wavelength of light in vacuum λ, and the refractive index of the film n?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference in thin film.

By definition we know that the film thickness is given by the equation

2nt = \frac{m\lambda}{2}

Where,

m = Any integer which represents the number of repetition of the spectrum (number of fringe)

n = Index of refraction of the film

\lambda = Wavelength

t = Thickness

For first bright fringe we have then that m = 1, re-arrange to find t,

2nt = \frac{m\lambda}{2}

t = \frac{1\lambda}{2*2n}

t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}

Therefore the thickness of film would be \lambda /4

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 30m

Speed  = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = \frac{disance }{time}  

 Time taken  = \frac{distance }{speed }   = \frac{30}{15}  = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

Determine the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a 0.06000 C charged object when it is placed in an electric field of magni
joja [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the following equation:

E=\frac{q}{F} and solve for F:

F=\frac{q}{E} and filling in:

F=\frac{.0600}{1500}

F = 4.0 × 10^{-4 N

EASY BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!
jeka94

Answer:

Solution given:

frequency[f]=60,500,000Hz

velocity[V]=300,000,000m/s

wave length=?

we have

wave length=\frac{V}{f}

=\frac{300,000,000}{60,500,000}

=\frac{3000}{605}=4.96 m

Option A.4.96m

which of the following locations has the largest electric field? A)0.4 cm from a +3.0 uC point charge B)0.2 cm frm a +1.5 uC poi
JulsSmile [24]
<span>Electric field is proportional to q/d^2, where q is the magnitude of the charge and d is the distance. Since all the given units are identical, we can just compare their relative magnitudes without calculating for the exact values.
A) 3/(0.4)^2 = 18.75
B) 1.5/(0.2)^2 = 37.5
C) 6/(0.4)^2 = 37.5
D) 3/(0.2)^2 = 75
Therefore, choice D has the largest electric field of all.

Volume , mass, and weight can be measured with balances, scales, and ?
BigorU [14]


If you are talking about volume, then an easy way to measured the volume of a liquid would be with a graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is marked with volume units such as milliliter (mL) or the liter (L). One liter equals 1 thousand milliliters.

To measure the volume of a solid you use the formula V = (Length)(Width)(Height)

To measure the volume of a gas you use a graduated cylinder held upside down. At first the cylinder is filled with water. When air is blown into the cylinder, bubbles rise and push some water down. The volume of the water pushed down is equal to the volume of the gas that was blown in.
