Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a wa

ter layer 1500 nm thick. The refractive index of water is 1.33, and that of the oil is 1.40. The number of wavelengths of light that fit in the oil film is closest to:

Answer:

in oil film        λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film    λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

             v = λ f

in the void we have

             c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

            c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

             

              n = c / v

              n = λ₀ /λ

              λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

            λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

            λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

Which of the following examples could this free body diagram describe? (Check all that apply)
boyakko [2]

Answer:

A car accelerating to the right

Explanation:

The free-body diagram shows all the forces acting on an object. The length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by that arrow.

In this free-body diagram, we see that there are 4 forces acting on the object, in 4 different directions. We also see that the two vertical forces are equal so they are balanced, while the force to the rigth is larger than the force to the left: this means that there is a net force to the right, so the object is accelerating to the right.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A car accelerating to the right

What condition is required for cloud formation in the atmosphere?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: To form a cloud, the air that rises must cool to the point where some of the water vapor molecules "clump together" at a faster pace than they are pulled apart by their thermal energy. These molecules then condense to form the clouds and water droplets.
