Answer:

611.8 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = Index of refraction of soap bubble  = 1.33

t = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of light = ?

m = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda

2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}

\lambda = 611.8 nm

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

7.39ev

Explanation:

Energy levels are found inside the atom. Electrons occupy these energy levels depending on the energy they possess. Electrons can move from one energy level to another due to absorption or emission of a photon or other factors. As the electron, jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level emitting a photon of measurable frequency, the photon carries energy equal to the amount of energy between the gap of the levels. This idea was first proposed by Neils Bohr and became the forerunner of the wave mechanical model of the atom.

Hence the energy of a photon is the energy of the gap between the two energy levels. Since Ea= 2.48ev and Eg= 10.38 ev.

If an electron jumps from Ea to Eg, the energy of the photon absorbed is given by;

E=Eg-Ea

E= 10.38ev - 2.48ev

E= 7.39ev

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

it would take rod B twice as much time

Explanation:

it would take rod B twice as much time as it is twice as thick and twice as long. Due to this reason it would take the electric charge not only more time but even more voltage to travel through the rod
