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

What is the displacement of a car in 50 s if it is travelling with a velocity of 25 m/s?
Schach [20]

Answer:

v =25 m/s

time= 50 s

Velocity =Displacement/Time

Displacement = Velocity × Time

S = 25×50

s=1250m

Explanation:

v =25 m/s

time= 50 s

Velocity =Displacement/Time

Displacement = Velocity × Time

On a dry winter day, you scuff your leather-soled shoes across a carpet and get a shock when you extend the tip of one finger to
damaskus [11]

Therefore electric potential is V = 15000V.

What is electric potential?

The amount of labor required to convey a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a given place in an electric field is known as the electric potential (also known as the electric field potential, potential drop, or the electrostatic potential).

length of sparks d = 5 mm = 5 x 10^-2 m

(a) It is possible to find average values for the skin's surface and the electric field in dry air from outside sources. Electric field and spark length can be used to determine electric potential.

V = E.d

V = 15000V

What is the purpose of machines related to work, force, and energy?
Mumz [18]

A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force.
