"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s

hift of 8 bright fringes in the pattern produced by light of wavelength 540 nm, what is the thickness of the film?"

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

One horsepower (hp) is the amount of power required to lift a 75-kg mass a vertical distance of 1 m in 1 s. What is 2 hp equival
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1470 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

The expression for power is given as,

P = Energy/time

P = mgh/t ...................... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, h = height, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 75 kg, g =9.8 m/s², h = 1 m, t = 1 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = (75×1×9.8)/1

P = 735 W.

From the above,

1 hp = 735 W

2 hp = (2×735) W

2 hp = 1470 W.

Hence 2 hp = 1470 W

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change
Verdich [7]
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together

Atoms that are bonded together to form a new material with new<br> properties and characteristics. .
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
