A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). She aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). The index of refraction of water is 1.33.
Part A: The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot? t= 313nm
Part B: Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now? t=125nm

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 750 / 2(1.20)

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 750 / 2.4

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b)

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and  index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 750 / 4(1.50)

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 750 / 6

t[tex]_{min[/tex] = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

a disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. what distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel during 30 seconds of rotation?​

Answers

Each minute, the disk completes 100 revolutions, so a point on the rim traverses a distance of 100 times the circumference of the disk and would have a linear speed of

100 rev/min

= (100 rev/min) × (2π × 50 cm/rev) × (1/100 m/cm) × (1/60 min/s)

= 5π/3 m/s ≈ 5.236 m/s

Then after 30 s of rotation, the point would have traveled a distance of

(5π/3 m/s) × (30 s) = 50π m ≈ 157.08 m

When you look at the backside of a shiny teaspoon held at arm's length, do you see yourself upright or upside down? (b) When you look at the other side of the spoon, do you see yourself upright or upside down? Assume in both cases that the distance between you and the spoon is greater than the focal length of the spoon.

Answers

Answer:

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Explanation:

The spoon is a curved metallic object, when we see ourselves from the back we have a convex mirror, in this type of mirror when the law of reflection is applied the rays diverge therefore the eye-brain system forms the image with the prolongation of the rays, therefore the image is straight and smaller than the object.

When we look through the deep side of the spoon, we have a concave mirror and as the object (we) is further away than the distance, the rays converge to a point, so the image is real, inverted smaller than the object.

In summary.

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Answer:

  x = 0.455 L

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium condition

        Σ τ = 0

it has two forces, the first is perpendicular to the rod, so its stub is

         τ₁ = F₁ L

the second force is applied with an angle, so we can use trigonometry to find its components

          sin θ = F_parallel / F₂

          cos θ = F_perpendicular / F₂

         F_parallel = F₂ sin θ

         F _perpendicular = F₂ cos θ

torque is

         τ₂ = F_perpendicular x + F_parallel 0

the parallel force is on the rod therefore its distance is zero

           

we apply the equilibrium equation

          τ₁  - τ₂ = 0

          F₁ L = F₂ cos θ  x

          x = [tex]\frac{L}{cos \theta} \ \frac{F_1}{F_2}[/tex]

let's calculate

          x = [tex]\frac{L}{cos \ 42.9} \ \frac{2.00}{6.00}[/tex]

If an object went from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 1.7 seconds after a 10 N force was applied to it; what is the object's mass? No links pls

Answers

The force acting on the object is constant, so the acceleration of the object is also constant. By definition of average acceleration, this acceleration was

a = ∆v / ∆t = (6 m/s - 0) / (1.7 s) ≈ 3.52941 m/s²

By Newton's second law, the magnitude of the force F is proportional to the acceleration a according to

F = m a

where m is the object's mass. Solving for m gives

m = F / a = (10 N) / (3.52941 m/s²) ≈ 2.8 kg

M = 2

g = 9.8

Now,

⇒  [tex]\tau = T \alpha[/tex]

then,

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{1}{R}\frac{dv}{dt}) =M(g-a_t)R[/tex]

⇒  [tex]\frac{1}{2}m \ a_t=m(g-a_t)[/tex]

⇒  [tex]a_t=\frac{2g}{(\frac{m}{M} +2)}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒      [tex]=\frac{2\times 9.8}{\frac{0.7}{2} +2}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=8.34 \ m/s[/tex]

hence,

⇒  [tex]T=mg+M(g-a_t)[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

Answers

Answer:

refraction is the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Two experiments are performed on an object to determine how much the object resists a change in its state of motion while at rest and while in motion. In the first experiment, the object is pushed with a constant known force along a horizontal surface. There is negligible friction between the surface and the object. A motion sensor is used to measure the speed of the object as it is pushed. In a second experiment, the object is tied to a string and pulled upward with a constant known force, and a motion sensor is used to measure the speed of the object as it is pulled upward. The student uses the data collected from the motion sensor to determine the mass of the object in both experiments.

What classifies the type of mass that was determined in each experiment?

Answers

Answer:

In the first experiment, the mass is inertial mass and in the second experiment, the mass is a gravitational mass.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performs two types of experiment to see how change in its resistance while in the state of motion and in rest.

In the first experiment, an object is pushed with a force against a horizontal surface and the speed is measured using a sensor. Here, work is done against the inertia of the object as it is pushed from rest. So the mass is inertial mass.

In the second experiment, an object is pushed or thrown upwards with a force and speed is measured. Here, the mass is gravitational mass as the work done in the second experiment is against the gravity or against the weight of the object.

In the first experiment, the mass is inertial mass and in the second experiment, the mass is a gravitational mass.

As per the given problem, the student performs two types of experiment to see how change in its resistance while in the state of motion and in rest.

In the first experiment, an object is pushed with a force against a horizontal surface and the speed is measured using a sensor. Here, work is done against the inertia of the object as it is pushed from rest. So the mass is inertial mass. In the second experiment, an object is pushed or thrown upwards with a force and speed is measured. Here, the mass is gravitational mass as the work done in the second experiment is against the gravity or against the weight of the object.

Thus, we can conclude that the in the first experiment, the mass is inertial mass and in the second experiment, the mass is a gravitational mass.

Explanation:

Got it on Acellus

The light of wavelength 485 nm passes through a single slit. The single between the first (m=1) and second (m=2) interference minima is 3.36°.

What is diffraction?

Diffraction is the phenomenon of bending of waves through obstacles.  

Given is the wavelength λ= 485 nm, silt width d =  8.32 *10⁻⁶ m, then the angle θ will be

d sinθ =mλ

for m=1, sin θ₁ = λ/d

for m=2, sin θ₂ = 2λ/d

Substitute the values into both expressions to find the angles,

sin θ₁ = 485 x 10⁻⁹ /  8.32 *10⁻⁶

θ₁ = 3.34°

and sin θ₂ = (2 x  485 x 10⁻⁹ )/  8.32 *10⁻⁶

θ₂ = 6.7°

The angle between m =1 and m=2 will be

θ₂ -θ₁ = 6.7° - 3.34° =3.36°

Thus, angle between the first (m=1) and second (m=2) interference minima is 3.36°.

why is potassium and sodium considered as reactive metals?​

Answers

Answer:

because they are found freely in nature uncombined so they are highly reactive with other elements

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.

The liquid emerges into a vertical jet as it drains from the container, with the velocity profile in the jet remaining uniform. The outlet of the container is located 2.0 m above ground, and the radius of the emerging liquid jet changes with vertical distance from the bottom of the container as it accelerates under the action of gravity. Neglecting viscous losses and surface tension effects in the liquid jet, what is the velocity of the water jet as it strikes the ground when the container begins to drain

Answers

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Since we are neglecting viscous losses and surface tension effects in the liquid jet, by conservation of energy, the potential energy loss of the jet = kinetic energy gain of the jet

So, mgh = 1/2mv² where m = mass of water in jet, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height of outlet = 2.0 mand v = velocity of liquid jet

So, mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

v² = 2gh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 2.0 m)

v = √(39.2 m²/s²)

v = 6.26 m/s

A mass MM uniform solid cylinder of radius RR and a mass MM thin uniform spherical shell of radius RR roll without slipping. If both objects have the same kinetic energy, what is the ratio of the speed of the cylinder to the speed of the spherical shell

Answers

Answer:

vcyl / vsph = 1.05

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a rolling object can be expressed as the sum of a translational kinetic energy plus a rotational kinetic energy.The traslational part can be written as follows:

       [tex]K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cm} ^{2} (1)[/tex]

The rotational part can be expressed as follows:

       [tex]K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* I* \omega ^{2} (2)[/tex]

where I = moment of Inertia regarding the axis of rotation.ω = angular speed of the rotating object.If the object has a radius R, and it rolls without slipping, there is a fixed relationship between the linear and angular speed, as follows:

       [tex]v = \omega * R (3)[/tex]

For a solid cylinder, I = M*R²/2 (4)Replacing (3) and (4)  in (2), we get:

       [tex]K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cmc} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2} (5)[/tex]

Adding (5) and (1), we get the total kinetic energy for the solid cylinder, as follows:

       [tex]K_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} +\frac{1}{4}* M* v_{cmc}^{2} = \frac{3}{4}* M* v_{cmc} ^{2} (6)[/tex]

Repeating the same steps for the spherical shell:

        [tex]I_{sph} = \frac{2}{3} * M* R^{2} (7)[/tex]  

       [tex]K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}* \frac{2}{3} M*R^{2} * \frac{v_{cms} ^{2}}{R^{2}} = \frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2} (8)[/tex]

      [tex]K_{sph} = \frac{1}{2}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} +\frac{1}{3}* M* v_{cms}^{2} = \frac{5}{6}* M* v_{cms} ^{2} (9)[/tex]

Since we know that both masses are equal each other, we can simplify (6) and (9), cancelling both masses out.And since we also know that both objects have the same kinetic energy, this means that (6) are (9) are equal each other.Rearranging, and taking square roots on both sides, we get:

       [tex]\frac{v_{cmc}}{v_{cms}} =\sqrt{\frac{10}{9} } = 1.05 (10)[/tex]

This means that the solid cylinder is 5% faster than the spherical shell, which is due to the larger moment of inertia for the shell.
