A thin film of cooking oil ( n = 1.47 ) is spread on a puddle of water ( n = 1.35 ) . What is the minimum thickness D min of the

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The minimum thickness of the oil is 77.55 nm

Explanation:

Given:

Refractive index of oil $n_{o} = 1.47$

Refractive index of water $n_{w} = 1.35$

Wavelength of light $\lambda= 456 \times 10^{-9}$ m

From the equation of thin film interference,

The minimum thickness is given by,

$2n_{o} t = (n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda$

Where $n = 0,1,2,3.........$ , $t =$ thickness

Here we have to find minimum thickness so we use $n = 0$

$2n_{o} t =( 0+\frac{1}{2} )\lambda$

$t = \frac{\lambda }{4 n_{o} }$

$t = \frac{456 \times 10^{-9} }{4 \times 1.47}$

$t = 77.55 \times 10^{-9}$ m

$t = 77.55$ nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness of the oil is 77.55 nm

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-dia

Mashcka [7]

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

<h3>What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Pressure is mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N
