A puddle of water has a thin film of gasoline floating on it. A beam of light is shining perpendicular on the film. If the wavel

ength of light incident on the film is 560 nm and the indices of refraction of gasoline and water are 1.40 and 1.33, respectively, what is the minimum thickness of the film to see a bright reflection?

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Destructive and constructive interference. The constructive interference in tin film is given by

2t = (m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda}{n}

Where,

t = thickness

\lambda=Wavelenght

m= is an integer

n= film/refractive index

We use this equaton because phase change is only present for gasoline air interface, but not at the gasoline-water interface. <em>The minimum t only would be when the value of m=0 then</em>

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

t = \frac{560nm}{4*1-4}

t = 100nm

Therefore the correct answer is D. The minimum thickness of the film to see ab right reflection is 100nm

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

<em />

<em />

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav
Vinvika [58]
<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

V=V_{o}-g.t    (2)

Where:

y  is the rock's final position

y_{o}=0  is the rock's initial position

V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s} is the rock's initial velocity

V is the final velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know y_{o}=0 , equation (2) is rewritten as:

y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height  is accomplished when V=0:

V=V_{o}-g.t=0    (4)

V_{o}-g.t=0    

V_{o}=g.t    (5)

Finding t:

t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}    (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}    (7)

y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}    (8)  Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}   (9)

Finally:

y_{max}=277.777m
