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

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement? What is the only case in which magnitude of dis
Sedaia [141]

Answer: Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Under what circumstances does distance traveled equal magnitude of displacement?

When a body's motion is linear in one direction. Or a body moving in a straight line without turning back.

What is the only case in which magnitude of displacement and distance are exactly the same?

When the body is moving in a straight line with without changing direction or without turning back.
