Answer:

The expression for destructive interference in thin films allows to find the result for the smallest thickness of the films is:

         t = 2.03 10⁻⁸ mm

Explanation:

Given parameters

Incident wavelength lamo = 535 nm

Refractive index of the film n = 1.32

To find

The minimum thickness for destructive interference

The interference phenomenon occurs when the path of two rays scattered by an obstacle have different optical paths. In the case of thin films we must take into account:

The reflected wave has a phase change of 180º when it goes from a medium with a lower refractive index to a medium with a higher index.

Inside the film medium the wavelength is modulated by the refractive index.

                 

In the attachment we see an outline of these events and the expression for destructive interference remains.

               2 n t = m λ₀

Where n is the refractive index, t the thickness of the film, λ₀ the wavelength in the vacuum and m an integer indicating the order of interference.  

             t =  

The first destructive interference occurs for m = 1, let's calculate.

       t =    

       t = 202.65 nm

Let's reduce this amount to millimeters.

        t = 202.65 nm  

        t = 2,027 10⁻⁸ mm

In conclusion, using the expression for destructive interference in thin films we can find the result for the smallest thickness of the films is:

         t = 2.03 10⁻⁸ mm

The heat required to melt a piece of copper is (82 x 10 ^5 J). The heat of fusion of copper is (2.05×10 ^5 J/ kg). What is the m
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Heat of Fusion = 2.05 * 10^5 J / kg      watch the units.

Heat to actually melt the copper = 82 10^5 J

Formula

Mass of copper = Heat / Heat of Fusion

Solution

Mass of copper = 82*10^5 J / (2.05 * 10^5 J / kg)

Mass of copper = 40 kg

Notice that the kg is in the denominator of the second fraction. The rules of fractions would tell you the 1/1 / / 1 /kg . You take the right fraction and turn it upside down and multiply. 1 / 1 * kg/1 = 1* kg / 1*1 which is just kg.

Answer 40 kg of copper
