Because although they cannot see it, they can see it's influence on objects that can be seen, and it's effects.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car
Inessa [10]

Answer:

W=2219pounds

Explanation:

If the weight  is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}

we solve the equation:

W=2219pounds
