Complete Question
An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick
Answer:
The largest total area of the oil slick 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The volume of oil the escaped is 
The refractive index of oil is 
The refractive index of water is 
The wavelength of the light is 
Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n
It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question
substituting value
The are can be mathematically evaluated as

Substituting values


Answer:
The correct option is (c).
Explanation:
Given that,
The energy of a photon is, 
We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

Where
c is the speed of light

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.
Answer:
Steel
Explanation:
Mass is density times volume.
m = ρV
Since they have the same size and shape, they have the same volume.
Steel has a higher density than Styrofoam, so at the same volume, the steel ball will have more mass.
λ=v/f
λ-wavelength
v-speed
f-frequency
we have the wavelength(6.2 x 10^-6meters) and we use the speed of light which is equal to 3*10^8m/s
6.2*10^-6m=3*10^8m/s/f
f=(3*10^8m/s)/(6.2*10^-6)≈0.48*10^14Hz
