Answer:

There will be a phase change at the first interface and no phase change at the second interface:

If the film is 1/4 wavelength thick this restriction will hold

The wavelength of the light in oil is 545 nm / 1.45 = 376 nm

376 nm / 4 = 94 nm

"D" is correct

Color depends on what characteristic of light?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

On the wavelength

Explanation:

Visible light is just a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which classifies all the electromagnetic waves from shortest wavelength (gamma rays) to longest wavelength (radio waves).

Visible light refers to the part of the spectrum which has wavelength between 380 nm and 750 nm. These are the only electromagnetic wave that our eyes can see, and depending on their wavelength, they appear as a different color. In particular, each color corresponds to a different range of wavelengths:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

A weightlifter can lift 220lbs. (assume 1kg weighs 2.2lbs) If he lifts the weight 2m above the floor, how much work did he do?
Anton [14]
Convert 220 lb to kg.

220/2.2 = 100kg.

W = Fd (In this case, F is the weight)
W = (100)(2)
W = 200J

P = W/t
P = (200)/(1.2)
P = 166.67W

Bezzdna [24]

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.
