In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.50 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference for the reflected light, λ   = 3472.

Explanation:

Refractive index of Glass (given) = 1.5

For the case of a constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

For case 1,

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

For case 2,

2nt = (m +1+ 1/2) 386 nm

2nt = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

(m + 1/2) 496 nm = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

m = 3

Inserting the value of m in 1.

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

2*1.5t = (3 + 1/2) * 496 nm

t = ((3 + 1/2) * 496 nm)/ 3

t = 578.6 nm

The thickness of the glass, t = 578.6 nm

b)

It is generally known that for constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

λ = 2nt / ((m + 1/2))

For Longest Wavelength, m = 0

λ = 2*1.5*578.6/ (1/2)

λ = 3472 nm

dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 58.4 x 103 kg of water falls each second
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep =  58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.
