"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

A sprinter must average 24.0 mi/h to win a 100-m dash in 9.30 s. What is his wavelength at this speed if his mass is 84.5 kg?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Wavelength λ = 7.31 × 10^-37 m

Explanation:

From De Broglie's equation;

λ = h/mv

Where;

λ = wavelength in meters

h = plank's constant = 6.626×10^-34 m^2 kg/s

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s

Given;

v = 24 mi/h

Converting to m/s

v = 24mi/h × 0.447 m/s ×1/(mi/h)

v = 10.73m/s

m = 84.5kg

Substituting the values into the equation;

λ = (6.626×10^-34 m^2 kg/s)/(84.5kg × 10.73m/s)

λ = 7.31 × 10^-37 m

Consider the nearly circular orbit of Earth around the Sun as seen by a distant observer standing in the plane of the orbit. Wha
ikadub [295]

We have that the spring constant is mathematically given as

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

Generally, the equation for angular velocity is mathematically given by

\omega=\sqrt{k}{m}

Where

k=spring constant

And

\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}

Therefore

\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{k}{n}

Hence giving spring constant k

k=m((\frac{2 \pi}{T})^2

Generally

Mass of earth m=5.97*10^{24}

Period for on complete resolution of Earth around the Sun

T=365 days

T=365*24*3600

Therefore

k=(5.97*10^{24})((\frac{2 \pi}{365*24*3600})^2

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

In conclusion

The effective spring constant of this simple harmonic motion is

k=2.37*10^{11}N/m

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65
kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

\theta = Angle at which the force is being applied = 65^{\circ}

Horizontal component of force is given by

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.
