A tank of gasoline (n = 1.40) is open to the air (n = 1.00). A thin film of liquid floats on the gasoline and has a refractive i

ndex that is between 1.00 and 1.40. Light that has a wavelength of 626 nm (in vacuum) shines perpendicularly down through the air onto this film, and in this light the film looks bright due to constructive interference. The thickness of the film is 290 nm and is the minimum nonzero thickness for which constructive interference can occur. What is the refractive index of the film?
nfilm = 1Your answer is incorrect.I did t=(m)(wavelengthfilm)/(2) solving for the wavelegth of filmThenI did: wavelength film = wavelength vaccum / n and my n comes out as 1.18 which is the wrong answer can anyone help??

Answer:

1.08

Explanation:

This is the case of interference in thin films in which interference bands are formed due to constructive interference of two reflected light waves , one from upper layer and the other from lower layer . If t be the thickness and μ be the refractive index then

path difference created will be 2μ t.

For light coming from rarer to denser medium , a phase change of π occurs additionally after reflection from denser medium, here, two times, once from upper layer and then from the lower layer ,  so for constructive interference

path diff = nλ , for minimum t , n =1

path diff = λ

2μ t. =  λ

μ = λ / 2t

= 626 / 2 x 290

= 1.08

Two circular coils are concentric and lie in the same plane. The inner coil contains 170 turns of wire, has a radius of 0.012 m,
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The current of the outer coil is  I_o   =   3.99 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The number of turns of the inner coil is  N_i  = 170 \ turn

    The radius of the  inner coil is R_i =  0.012 \ m

     The current of the inner coil is  I_i  =  6.2 \ A

      The number of turns of the outer coil is N_o  =  220 \ turns

      The radius of the  outer coil is R_o  =  0.02 0 \ m

       

Generally the net magnetic field is mathematically represented as

              B  =  \frac{N \ mu I }{ 2 * R  }

Now from told that the net magnetic field is common

So  

           \frac{N_i  \mu I_i} {2 * R _i} =  \frac{N_o  \mu I_o} {2 * R _o}

Here  \mu is the permeability of free space

making  I_o the subject

            I_o   =   \frac{ N_i  I_i *2 * R _o}{N_o  *2 * R _i}

substituting values

           I_o   =   \frac{ 170 *6.2 *2 * 0.020}{220   *2 * 0.012}

         I_o   =   3.99 \ A

Blocks A (mass 3.50 kg) and B (mass 6.50 kg) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is at rest and block
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

(a) V (A) =  0.7 m/s,

(b) V (A) =  0.7 m/s,

(c) V (B) =  0.7 m/s

(d) u= - 0.60 m/s

(e) v = 0.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

M(A) =3.50 Kg, M(B)=6.50 Kg, V(A) = 2.00 m/s, V(B) = 0 m/s

Sol:

a)  law of conservation of momentum

M(a) x V(A) + M(B) x V(B) = ( M(a) + M(B) ) V      (let V is Common Velocity of Both block)

so 3.50 Kg x 2.00 m/s + 6.50 Kg x 0 m/s = (3.50 Kg + 6.50 Kg ) V

after solving V =  0.7 m/s

After the collision the velocities of the both block will be as the the spring is compressed maximum.

V (A) =  0.7 m/s

b)  V(A) =  0.7 m/s ( Part (a) and Part (a) are repeated )

c) as stated above the in the Part (a)

V(B) =  0.7 m/s

d) When the both blocks moved apart after the collision:

Let u=velocity of block A after the collision.

and v = velocity of block B after the collision.

then conservation of momentum

M(a) x V(A) + M(B) x V(B) = M(a) x v + M(B) x u

⇒ 3.50 Kg x 2.00 m/s + 6.50 Kg x 0 m/s =  3.50 Kg x u + 6.50 Kg x v

⇒ 2.00 m/s = u + 1.86 v -----eqn (1)  ( dividing both side by 3.50 Kg)

For elastic collision  

the velocity relative approach = velocity relative separation

so 2.00 m/s = v-u  ----- eqn (2)

⇒v = u + 2.00 m/s

putting this value in eqn (1) we get

2.00 m/s = u + 1.86 (v + 2.00 m/s)

u= - 0.60 m/s

e) putting v= 2.00 m/s in eqn (1)

2.00 m/s = - 2.32 m/s + 1.86 v

v = 0.75 m/s
