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

How does changing the lengthy but not the height of an inclined plane affect the work done to lift a load? PLZ HELP ME NOW'
Serhud [2]

Answer: Work Done would remain same.

Let us assume that the velocity is constant while taking the load up the inclined plane. Then, the kinetic energy would remain the same. This is because kinetic energy is dependent on velocity (K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2). If that is constant, the kinetic energy would remain same. The potential energy is dependent on the height(P.E.=mgh). If the height is changed, then potential energy varies. In the question, it is mentioned that without changing the height, the length of the inclined plane is changed. Therefore, the potential energy would be same as before.

We know, work done is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy. Since there is no change in any of these, the required work done would not change.

Know the monosaccharides, the disaccharides and the polysaccharides. Know the hormones involved in glucose regulation.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates which are called as single sugars. These are the building blocks of bigger carbohydrates.

Disaccharides are the sugars that are formed when two monosaccharides combine together by glycosidic bonds.

Polysaccharides are the long chains of carbohydrate molecules. These are formed by the monosaccharide units bonded by the glycosidic linkages.

The insulin and glucagon are the two hormones secreted by the pancreas that regulate the blood glucose levels. Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of pancreas. It is secreted when the blood glucose level is high. Glucagon is secreted by the beta cells of pancreas when the blood glucose level is low.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

You should compare your results and data with your original hypothesis.  It is okay to have a hypothesis that was shown to be false.  That's science. Things do not always work out.  You can always discuss what you could have done differently and things that went wrong.  There is no right answer in science!
