Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction

, n1 that is coating a material having an index of refraction n2. If n1 is larger than n2, what minumim film thickness will result in minimum reflection of this light?A. lambda/(4*n2)B. lambda/n2C. lambda/4D. lambda(2*n1)E. lambdaF. lambda/(2*n2)G. lambda/n1H. lambda/(4n1)I. lambda/2

Answer:

The  correct option is  H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The index of refraction of  coating is  n_1

       The  index of refraction of material  is  n_2

   

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

            2 *  t  = [ m  + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }

Here  t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness  m =  0

So

           2 *  t  =0  + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }

=>        t  =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }

What is the potential energy of a 3 kg- ball that is on the ground?
hammer [34]
With respect to the ground, the 3 kg object has no or 0 potential energy, as one can compute the potential energy as Ep = mgh. Since the object is on the ground it posses no height and thus no potential energy.

A block moves along a table at a constant velocity and then rolls off the edge of the table. The forces that should be included
Alla [95]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

When the ball is falling to the ground, there is only one force- gravity. In some cases, there may be air resistance, but that seems to be neglected here.

Normal force:

Cannot be included. Normal force is only applicable when object is on a surface, and it acts perpendicular to the surface. Since the ball is falling, there is no surface, and therefore no normal force. This question gives you unnecessary information, designed to trick you. Please remember when normal force is applicable.

Friction force:

Also only applicable when object is moving, and is on the table. Friction only applies when there is an applied force. There is no applied force when the ball is falling, so therefore no friction force.

Force of fall:

First of all, what is this? There is nothing called force of fall.

Gravity:

This is the only one that applies. Just draw a vector arrow from the bottom of the ball and label it mg (acceleration due to gravity).

Which use combustion to release thermal energy?
julia-pushkina [17]
Heat of combustion.<span> The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat.</span>

The components of vector A are Ax = +2.2 and Ay = -6.9 , and the components of vector B are given are Bx = -6.1 and By = -2.2. W
Zina [86]
For simplicity, let's call vector B-A  vector C  Then C is
Cx = (-6.1 - 2.2)  
Cy = (-2.2 - (-6.9))  Or,
Cx = -8.3  Cy = 4.7
The magnitude is found with the Pythagorean theorem
||C|| = √(-8.3² + 4.7²) = 9.538
