theyre used to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

Answer:

The coating acts as an insulator to cover the metal conducting part of the wire. Without this insulator, the wire could come in contact with other conductors and lead to an unintentional electric current through those other conductors.

A thin oil slick (no=1.50) floats on water (nw=1.33). When a beam of white light strikes this film at normal incidence from air,
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The (minimum) thickness of the oil slick is 325 nm.

Explanation:

Let the (minimum) thickness of the oil slick = t_{o}

Therefore:

2t_{o} = (m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red}/n_{o}       (1)

similarly,

2t_{o}=(m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}                                (2)

Thus, equation 1 = equation 2

(m_{red}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{red} /n_{o} = (m_{violet}+\frac{1}{2})*λ_{violet}/n_{o}

Where:

λ_{red} = 650 nm

λ_{violet} = 390 nm

n_{o} = 1.5

Therefore:

\frac{2m_{violet}+1 }{2n_{red}+1 }=650/390=5/3

This shows that,

m_{violet}=2

m_{red}=1

Thus, using equation 2

t_{o}=\frac{5*390}{2*2*1.5} =325 nm

How many neutrons is there in that element that has 36 protons and 36 electrons
bagirrra123 [75]
You need to know the mass number to work it out. I can see you have it but it's not visible on your photo.

Every proton weighs 1 and every neutron weighs 1 so if you know the total mass of the nucleus and the number of protons, then you can do:
Mass Number - Proton Number = Neutron Number
because the rest of the mass (that isn't from the protons) must come from the neutrons. Make sense?
