- A thin film of oil * (n = 1.45) on a puddle of water, producing different colors. What is the minimum thickness of a place whe

re the oil creates constructive interference for light with a wavelength equal to 545 nm?

Physics

Darya [45]3 years ago
4 0

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

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

On both sides of the film , the mediums have lower refractive index.

for interfering pattern from above , for constructive interference of reflected wave from both sides of the film , the condition is

2μt = ( 2n +1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of film ,t is thickness of film λ is wavelength of light

n is order of fringe

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2μt =  λ / 2

t =  λ / 4μ

= 670 / 1.75 x 4

= 95.71 nm .

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Using the equation for the period of a physical pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of leg about perpendicular axis at one point =  mL²/3 where m = mass of man = 67 kg and L = height of man = 1.83 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of leg from center of gravity of man = L/2 (center of gravity of a cylinder)

So, T = 2π√(I/mgh)

T = 2π√(mL²/3 /mgL/2)

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T = 2π√(2L/3g)

T = 2π√(2 × 1.83 m/(3 × 9.8 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(3.66 m/(29.4 m/s² ))

T = 2π√(0.1245 s² ))

T = 2π(0.353 s)

T = 2.22 s

T ≅ 2.2 s

So, the period of the man's leg is 2.2 s

A man wishes to lift a stone weighing 1440 N, using a first-class lever that measures 5 meters. What force should it perform if
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3360 N

Explanation:

In a first-class lever, the effort force and load force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.

The lever is 5 m long.  The load force is 1.50 m from the fulcrum, so the effort force must be 3.50 m from the fulcrum.

The torques are equal:

Fr = Fr

(1440 N) (3.5 m) = F (1.5 m)

F = 3360 N

What is the time it takes an object that moves at 25 m/min to travel 505 meters?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

25 meters = 1 minute

505 meters = ? minutes

Therefore, 505/25

Therefore, 101/5

Therefore, 2.2 minutes

It moves 505 meters in 2.2min
