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

The hardest part of the job is to find the right formula to use, and write it down. You've already done that ! The rest is just turning the crank until an answer falls out.

You wrote. E = m g h.
Beautiful.
Now divide each side by (g h), and you'll have the formula for mass:

m = E / (g h).

You know all the numbers on the right side. Just pluggum in, do the arithmetic, and you'll have the mass.

The displacement vector A and B when added together , give the resultant vector R so that R= A+B use the data in the drawing and
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.

Let:

b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°

We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.

Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.

In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.

A charged wire of negligible thickness has length 2L units and has a linear charge density λ. Consider the electric field E-vect
Stels [109]

Answer:

E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}

Explanation:

Given that

Length= 2L

Linear charge density=λ

Distance= d

K=1/(4πε)

The electric field at point P

E=2K\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{\lambda }{r^2}dx\ sin\theta

sin\theta =\dfrac{d}{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}

r^2=d^2+x^2

So

E=2K\lambda d\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{dx }{(x^2+d^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Now by integrating above equation

E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}
