A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.15 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o

f reflection with normally incident violet light (wavelength 400 nm in air). Assuming the maximum occurs in the first order, determine the thickness of the oil slick.

Answer:

The thickness of the oil slick. t = 173.91 nm

Explanation:

Oil film thickness t is given by the equation

t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}

where λ = wavelength of incident light in air = 400 nm

and n = index of refraction of oil

therefore,

t =\frac{400}{2\times 1.15}\\t= 173.91 nm

The thickness of the oil slick. t = 173.91 nm

A metabolic waste of algae that can be recycled for use in cellular respiration is
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:oxygen

Explanation:algae are plants that lives in aquatic habitat,with a few of them occurring in land. Algae have chlorophyll and as a result are autotrophic in nutrition. Algae uses carbon dioxide as a raw material for photosynthesis which is the process where they produce food. They also give off oxygen which results from the splitting of water by light.

This oxygen given off is used by organisms for cellular respiration.the mitochondria is the organelle responsible it's utilization in respiration and carbon dioxide is given off.oxygen serves as an electron acceptor in the energy producing process in the mitochondria. It is an important gas for aerobic respiration.

Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of ammonium nitrate to form molecular nitrogen, molecular oxygen, and water. Exp
VARVARA [1.3K]

The unbalanced reaction is

<em>a</em> NH₄NO₃   ⇒   <em>b</em> N₂ + <em>c</em> O₂ + <em>d</em> H₂O

where <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, and <em>d</em> are unknown constants.

Count how many times each element appears on either side of the reaction.

• reactants:

N = 2<em>a</em>, H = 4<em>a</em>, O = 3<em>a</em>

• products

N = 2<em>b</em>, O = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em>, H = 2<em>d</em>

<em />

Now we solve the system of equations,

2<em>a</em> = 2<em>b</em> … … … [1]

4<em>a</em> = 2<em>d</em> … … … [2]

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + <em>d</em> … … … [3]

<em />

From [1] we immediately have

<em>a</em> = <em>b</em>

In [2], we get

2<em>a</em> = <em>d</em>

and substituting for <em>d</em> in [3] gives

3<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em> + 2<em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = 2<em>c</em>

<em />

Let <em>c</em> = 1; then

• <em>a</em> = 2×1 = 2

• <em>b</em> = 2

• <em>d</em> = 2×2 = 4

So, the balanced reaction is

2 NH₄NO₃   ⇒   2 N₂ + O₂ + 4 H₂O

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

K.E = 100 J

Final P.E = 100 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of any object can be given by the following formula:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})mv^{2}

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy

m = mass of ball = 2 kg

v = speed of ball

Initially, v = 10 m/s. Therefore, the initial K.E is given as:

K.E = (\frac{1}{2})(2\ kg)(10\ m/s)^{2}

<u>K.E = 100 J</u>

Now, at the highest point the K.E of the ball becomes zero. because the ball stops for a moment at the highest point and its velocity becomes zero. So, from Law of Conservation of energy:

Initial K.E + Initial P.E = Final K.E + Final P.E

Initial P.E is also zero due to zero height initially.

K.E + 0 = 0 + Final P.E

<u>Final P.E = 100 J</u>

C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.
