In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.20 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a

liraira [26]

Answer:

(a). The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). The wavelength is 3472 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index = 1.20

Wavelength = 496 nm

Next wavelength = 386 nm

We need to calculate the thickness of the glass

Using formula for constructive interference

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

In first case,

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})496$ .....(I)

In second case,

$2nt=(m+1+\dfrac{1}{2})386$

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{3}{2})386$ .....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$(m+\dfrac{1}{2})496=(m+\dfrac{3}{2})386$

$110m=336$

$m=3.0$

Put the value of m in equation (I)

$2nt=(2+\dfrac{1}{2})496$

$t=\dfrac{(3+\dfrac{1}{2})496}{2\times1}$

$t=868\ nm$

The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of constructive interference

$2nt=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{(m+\dfrac{1}{2})}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\times1\times868}{\dfrac{1}{2}}$

$\lambda=3472\ nm$

Hence, (a). The thickness of the glass is 868 nm.

(b). The wavelength is 3472 nm.

Since most people who are electrocuted don’t blow up, what kills them?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

<span>They are killed mostly by heart attacks. Alternating electrical current interferes with the electrical pulses of the heart produced by the Sino-atrial node hence cause the heart to beat erratically and hence a heart attack and death to result. 7 milliamps to your heart for 3 seconds can cause it to be arrhythmic. </span>

Use Wien’s Law to calculate the peak wavelength of Betelgeuse, based on the temperature found in Question #8. Note: 1 nanometer

kodGreya [7K]

The peak wavelength of Betelgeuse is 828 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between surface temperature and peak wavelength of a star is given by Wien's displacement law:

$\lambda=\frac{b}{T}$
