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

A thin 1.5 mm coating of glycerine has been placed between two microscope slides of width 0.8 cm and length 3.9 cm . Find the fo
Radda [10]

The  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

<h3>Force required to pull one end at a constant speed</h3>

The force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

F = ma

where;

  • m is mass
  • a is acceleration

At a constant speed, the acceleration of the object will be zero.

F = m x 0

F = 0

Thus, the  force required to pull one of the microscope sliding at a constant speed of 0.28 m/s relative to the other is zero.

Consider a golf ball with a mass of 45.9 grams traveling at 200 km/hr. If an experiment is designed to measure the position of t
Kipish [7]

Answer:

speed of golf ball is 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and % of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %

Explanation:

given data

mass = 45.9 gram = 0.0459 kg

speed = 200 km/hr = 55.5 m/s

uncertainty position Δx = 1 mm = 10^{-3} m

to find out

speed of the golf ball and  % of speed of the golf ball

solution

we will apply here heisenberg uncertainty principle that is

uncertainty position ×uncertainty momentum ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }    ......1

Δx × ΔPx  ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }

here uncertainty momentum ΔPx = mΔVx

and uncertainty velocity = ΔVx

and h = 6.626 × 10^{-34} Js

so put here all these value in equation 1

10^{-3} × 0.0459 × ΔVx =  \frac{6.626*10^{-34}}{4\pi }

ΔVx = 1.15 × 10^{-30} m/s

and

so % of uncertainty in speed = ΔV / m

% of uncertainty in speed =  1.15 × 10^{-30}  / 55.5

% of uncertainty in speed =  2.07 × 10^{-30} %

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What
AnnZ [28]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wal
Helga [31]

Answer:

2.59 m

Explanation:

Coordinates of origin = (0, 0)

Coordinates of Point p where the fly reach = (2.3 m, 1.2 m)

Use the distance formula of coordinates to find the distance between the origin and the point P.

d=\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}}

d=\sqrt{\left ( 2.3- 0 \right )^{2}+\left ( 1.2-0 \right )^{2}}

d = 2.59 m

Thus, the distance between the origin and the point P is 2.59 m.
