A glass plate (n = 1.60) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.29). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
frez [133]

Answer:

The thickness of the oil film is 198 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of glass plate = 1.60

Refractive index of oil = 1.29

Wavelength = 511 nm

We need to calculate the thickness of the oil film

Using formula of path difference

2nt=k\lambda

t=\dfrac{k\times\lambda}{2n}

Where, n = refractive index

t = thickness

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{1\times511\times10^{-9}}{2\times1.29}

t=198\times10^{-9}\ m

t= 198\ nm

Hence, The thickness of the oil film is 198 nm.

The rotating drum in a clothes-dryer has a radius of 0.31 m. If the acceleration at the rim of the drum is 27 m/s2, what is the
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

v = 2.89 m / s

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise, the centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity and r the radius

let's clear

       v = √a r

let's calculate

       v = √ (27 0.31)

       

       v = 2.89 m / s

this is the speed of the drum which is constant

The human eye can respond to as little as 10^−18 J of light energy. For a wavelength at the peak of visual sensitivity, 550 nm,
Bumek [7]
<span>The key equation is going to come from Mr Planck: E=h \nu

Where h is Plancks constant; and ν is the frequency. This equation gives you the energy per photon at a given frequency. Alas, you're given wavelength, but that's easy enough to convert to frequency given the following equation:

c= lambda / nu

where c is the speed of light; λ (lambda) is the wavelength; and ν is again frequency. As soon as you know the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 550nm, you should know how many photons you would require to accumulate 10^-18J. Be careful with your units.</span>
