Answer: Radiation

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the thermal transfer occurs:

1. By Conduction, when the transmission is by the direct contact.

2. By Convection, heat transfer in fluids (like water or the air, for example).

3. By Radiation, by the electromagnetic waves (they can travel through any medium and in vacumm)

So, in the outter space is vacuum, this means the energy cannot be transmitted by convection, nor conduction. It must be transmitted by electromagnetic waves that are able to travel with or without a medium, and this is called radiation.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t $_{min$ = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2(1.20)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2.4

t $_{min$ = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t $_{min$ = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 4(1.50)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 6

t $_{min$ = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Help pleasee

agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o = (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f) image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3 magnification (convex lens)
