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

Free_Kalibri [48]

The planets move eastward against the background of fixed stars with the exception of Venus, Uranus and Pluto moving westward as seen in Earth's sky . This apparent retreating movement is called Retrograde motion. It is illusion created by Earth's movement going by outer planets in their respective orbits.

While John is traveling along an interstate highway, he notices a 150 mi marker as he passes through town. Later John passes a 1
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Part a)

distance = 112 miles

Part b)

current position = 112 miles from the position of town

Explanation:

Part a)

Since the distance marker is showing the distance between the town and the position of john at all time

so here we have

d = 112 miles

Part b)

Current position of John is given as

r = 112 miles

from the position of the town

Two forces and are applied to an object whose mass is 13.3 kg. The larger force is . When both forces point due east, the object
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, It's important to remember F = ma, and in this problem m = 13.3 kg

This can be reduced to a simple system of equations problem.  Now if they are both going the same way then we add them, while if they are going the opposite way we subtract them.  So let's call them F1 and F2, with F1 arger than F2.  Now, When we add them together F1+F2 = (.723 m/s^2)*13.3kg and then when we subtract them, and have the larger one pushing toward the east, let's call F1 the larger one, F1-F2 = (.493 m/s^2)*13.3kg.  

Can you solve this system of equations seeing them like this, or do you need more help?

Refraction can occur only when light is
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.

How many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule?
earnstyle [38]
The subscript after the element indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. So, in H20, the subscript after the H, which stands for hydrogen, is 2. This means that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Hope this helps! :)
