For this problem, you will only be concerned with the geometric aspects of thin-film interference, so ignore phase shifts caused

by reflection from a medium with higher index of refraction. (Because of the structure of a butterfly's wings, such phase shifts do not contribute much to what you actually see when you look at the butterfly.) Part A Assume that light is incident normal to the surface of a film of thickness d. How much farther does the light reflected from the back surface travel than the light reflected from the front surface

Answer:

Λ = 2 t

Explanation:

This is a problem is interference by reflection, where it is requested not to take into account the changes of phase and change in the wavelength within the film

                   λₙ = λ₀ / n

When the wave enters the film, it must reach the end of the film, be reflected and reach the initial surface, therefore the total length is

                d = 2 t

where t is the thickness of the film, because the film is perpendicular to the surface

therefore the difference in optical path between the reflected ray on the surface and the end film is

                  Λ = 2 t

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.
