g A thin uniform film of oil that can be varied in thickness covers a sheet of glass of refractive index 1.52. The refractive in

dex of the oil is 1.64. Light of wavelength 555 nm is shone from air at normal incidence on the film. Starting with no oil on the glass, you gradually increase the thickness of the oil film until the first interference maximum in the reflected light occurs. What is the thickness of the oil film at that instant

Answer:

The right solution is "84.09 nm".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Refractive index of glass,

= 1.52

Refractive index of oil (n),

= 1.64

Wavelength (λ),

= 555 nm

Now,

The thickness of the film (t) will be:

= \frac{\lambda}{4n}

= \frac{555}{4\times 1.65}

= \frac{555}{6.6}

= 84.09 \ nm

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red
Orlov [11]

The physicist traveling, according to his own testimony at -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s.

<h3>How fast was the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony?</h3>

Using the formula for doppler shift for light,

λ' = λ√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)] where

  • λ = wavelength of source,
  • λ' = wavelength of observer,
  • v = speed of source and
  • c = speed of light

Given that the driver is moving away from the stop light, we take the driver as the source. Since, the Doppler shift made the red light of wavelength 650nm appear green to him, with a wavelength of 520nm. we have

  • λ' = wavelength of source = 650 nm,
  • λ' = wavelength of observer = 520 nm

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ' = λ√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

520 nm = 650 nm√[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

520/650 = √[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

0.8 = √[(1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)]

Squaring both sides, we have

0.8² = (1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)

0.64 = (1 + v/c)/(1 - v/c)

0.64(1 - v/c) = (1 + v/c)

0.64 - 0.64v/c = 1 + v/c

0.64 - 1 = v/c + 0.64v/c

-0.36 = 1.64v/c

-0.2195 = v/c

v = -0.22c

v = -0.22 × 3 × 10⁸ m/s

v = -0.66 × 10⁸ m/s

v = -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s

So, the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony at -6.6 × 10⁷ m/s.

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14?
SashulF [63]
<span>These are isotopes of carbon and they all contain 6 protons and 6 electrons but each contains a difference number of neutrons - 6, 7, and 8 respectively.

^ This is the answer because an isotope changes the atomic mass, NOT atomic number. That means that the neutrons are changed, not the protons. </span>

A particle of mass 10 g and charge 72 μC moves through a uniform magnetic field, in a region where the free-fall acceleration is
sineoko [7]

Answer:

-0.07163\hat k\ T or 0.07163 T into the page

Explanation:

m = Mass of particle = 10 g

a = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.8j m/s²

v = Velocity of particle = 19i km/s

q = Charge of particle = 72 μC

B = Magnetic field

Here the magnetic and gravitational forces on the particle are applied in the opposite direction so,

F_b=F_g

F_b=qvBsin\theta\\\Rightarrow F_b=qvBsin90\\\Rightarrow F_b=72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B

F_g=ma\\\Rightarrow F_g=0.01\times -9.8

72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000B=0.01\times -9.8\\\Rightarrow B=\frac{0.01\times -9.8}{72\times 10^{-6}\times 19000}\\\Rightarrow B=-0.07163\hat k\ T

The magnetic field is 0.07163 T into the page

An egg is thrown upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. How long will it take to reach it's maximum height?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.45 seconds

Explanation:

Letting the value of g = 10 m/s/s

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the egg will come to rest at the maximum height)

initial velocity(u) = 4.5 m/s

acceleration = -10 m/s/s (since the gravity is acting against the egg)

time = t seconds

From the first equation of motion:

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>0 = 4.5 + (-10)t</em>

<em>t = -4.5 / -10</em>

t = 0.45 seconds
