Answer:
The constriction causes the mercury column to break under tension, leaving a vacuum between the bottom of the column and that in the bulb, and the top of the column stays still at the position reached in the body - a "peak hold" system.
Answer:
The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.
Mathematically;
The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;
ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)
where λ is the wavelength of the light used
Let’s make L the subject of the formula
(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L
From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5
Plugging these values, we have
L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
Answer:
.
Explanation:
By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration 
of an object is proportional to the net force 
on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is 
, then
.
Rewrite this equation to obtain:
.
In this case, the assumption is that the 
force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force on the object would also be
Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as 
, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (
). Apply the equation to find the mass of the object.
