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.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

In a conservative field like gravitational field , loss of potential energy  or work done , depends upon the initial and final point and not the manner in which 2 nd point has been reached . Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

Hence , due to increased mass of larger child , his kinetic energy will be greater .

ii ) Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

iii ) Smaller child undergo free fall , therefore , he will fall with acceleration g . The larger child falls on curved path . So , he will have only a component of

vertical g at any moment  . hence average acceleration  will be less.

Two objects have charges 2.0 C and 1.0 C. If the objects are placed 2 meters apart, what is the magnitude of the force that the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

4.5\cdot 10^9 N

Explanation:

The electric force between two charged objects is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is their separation

In this problem:

q1 = 2.0 C

q2 = 1.0 C

r = 2 m

So, the electric force is

F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(2.0 C)(1.0 C)}{(2 m)^2}=4.5\cdot 10^9 N

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are characteristics of acids? contain hydroxide ion or produce it in a solution ta
julia-pushkina [17]
These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
