Light is incident perpendicularly on four transparent films of different thickness. The thickness of each film is given in the d

rawings in terms of the wavelength λfilm of the light within the film. The index of refraction of each film is 1.5, and each is surrounded by air. Which film(s) will appear bright due to constructive interference when viewed from the top surface, upon which the light is incident?

Answer:

1/4 λ film

Explanation:

Let L = total path length then L = 2 t where t is film thickness

There will be a 180 deg phase change at the air-film interface but no

phase change at the film-air interface

L = n * wavelength / 2 where n = 1, 3, 5, 7 etc

(the total path L must be an odd number of 1/2 wavelengths)

Or t = n * wavelength / 4 (the film must be an odd number

of 1/4 wavelengths thick)

1/4 λ film satisfies this condition

Note: Find the missing diagram in the attachment section.

A typical 12-V car battery can deliver about 750,000 C of charge before dying. This is not a lot of charge. As a comparison, cal
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

3.982 kg

Explanation:

The latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

= 5.4 ×10⁵ cal/kg

L = 5.4 ×10⁵ × 4.19

  = 2.26 × 10⁶ J/kg

Q = 12 × 750,000

= 9, 000, 000

= 9 × 10⁶ J

the maximum number of kg of water (at 100 degrees Celsius) that could be boiled into steam (at 100 degrees Celsius) is:

= \frac{ 9*10^6}{2.26*10^6 }

= 3.982 kg

Which of the following are transferred or shared when two atoms react chemically? *
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

One of the basic principles of chemistry is the electrostatic attraction between atoms or compounds. Electrons are on the outside of an atoms and that's where the charges come from and the interaction between those charges is what happens during a chemical bond. Therefore the answer would be electrons.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Frictional force between the object and the floor=5 N

Explanation:

power= 50 W

velocity= 10 m/s

power= force * velocity

50=F * 10

F=50/10

F=5 N

Thus the force of friction= 5 N
