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

Explanation:
When light of wavelength 233 nm shines on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is 1.98 eV. What is the maximum wavelength (in nm) of light that will produce photoelectrons from this surface
Answer:
λmax = 372 nm
Explanation:
First we find the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
λ = Wavelength of Light = 233 nm = 2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
h = Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:
E = Work Function + Kinetic Energy
8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = Work Function + (1.98 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)
Work Function = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.168 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Work Function = 5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Since, work function is the minimum amount of energy required to emit electron. Therefore:
Work Function = hc/λmax
λmax = hc/Work Function
where,
λmax = maximum wavelength of light that will produce photoelectrons = ?
Therefore,
λmax = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
λmax = 3.72 x 10⁻⁷ m
λmax = 372 nm
What is the magnitude of the applied electric field inside an aluminum wire of radius 1.4 mm that carries a 4.5-A current
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius is [tex]r = 1.4 \ mm = 1.4 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The current is [tex]I = 4.5 \ A[/tex]
Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{J}{\sigma }[/tex]
Where [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the conductivity of aluminum with value [tex]\sigma = 3.5 *10^{7} \ s/m[/tex]
J is the current density which mathematically represented as
[tex]J = \frac{I}{A}[/tex]
Here A is the cross-sectional area which is mathematically represented as
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 3.142 * (1.4*10^{-3})^2[/tex]
[tex]A = 6.158*10^{-6} \ m^2[/tex]
So
[tex]J = \frac{ 4.5 }{6.158*10^{-6}}[/tex]
[tex]J = 730757 A/m^2[/tex]
So
[tex]E = \frac{ 730757}{3.5*10^{7} }[/tex]
[tex]E = 0.021 \ N/C[/tex]

A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?
Answer:
Torque = 0.012 N.m
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg
Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0
Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm
Time taken;t = 45 seconds
Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;
220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s
Equation of rotational motion is;
ω_f = ω_i + αt
Where α is angular acceleration
Making α the subject, we have;
α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t
α = (0 - 22π/3)/45
α = -0.512 rad/s²
The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;
I = ½mr²
I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²
I = 0.0234375 kg.m²
Formula for torque is;
Torque = Iα
For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.
Thus;
Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512
Torque = 0.012 N.m

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
Answer:
The electric field can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

Answer: Speed = [tex]3.10^{-31}[/tex] m/s
Explanation: Like in classical physics, when external net force is zero, relativistic momentum is conserved, i.e.:
[tex]p_{f} = p_{i}[/tex]
Relativistic momentum is calculated as:
p = [tex]\frac{mu}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
where:
m is rest mass
u is velocity relative to an observer
c is light speed, which is constant (c=[tex]3.10^{8}[/tex]m/s)
Initial momentum is zero, then:

A nearsighted person has a far point that is 4.2 m from his eyes. What focal length lenses in diopters he must use in his contacts to allow him to focus on distant objects?
Answer:
-0.24diopters
Explanation:
The lens is intended that makes an object at infinity appear to be 4.2 m away, so do=infinity, dI = - 4.2m (minus sign because image is on same side of lens as object)
So 1/do +1/di = 1/f
1/infinity + 1/-4.2 = 1/f
1/f = 1/-4.2 = -0.24diopters
To get an idea of the order of magnitude of inductance, calculate the self-inductance in henries for a solenoid with 1500 loops of wire wound on a rod 13 cm long with radius 2 cm
Answer:
The self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.
Explanation:
Given;
number of turns, N = 1500 turns
length of the solenoid, L = 13 cm = 0.13 m
radius of the wire, r = 2 cm = 0.02 m
The self-inductance in henries for a solenoid is given by;
[tex]L = \frac{\mu_oN^2A}{l}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\mu_o[/tex] is permeability of free space = [tex]4\pi*10^{-7} \ H/m[/tex]
A is the area of the solenoid = πr² = π(0.02)² = 0.00126 m²
[tex]L = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}(1500)^2*(0.00126)}{0.13} \\\\L = 0.0274 \ H[/tex]
Therefore, the self-inductance in henries for the solenoid is 0.0274 H.

(Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect
Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source
f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]
f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .
f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]
= 1082 .4 Hz
This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .
When police car is approaching him when he is stopped
f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]
v is velocity of police car .
= 1000 x 331 / (331 - 27.27)
= 1090 Hz
If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.4 cm to do this?
Answer:
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m
Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m
Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m
Find:
Maximum altitude to see(L)
Computation:
Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)
D / L = 1.22(λ / d)
0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]
0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 1.47 × 10⁶
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

A deep-space vehicle moves away from the Earth with a speed of 0.870c. An astronaut on the vehicle measures a time interval of 3.10 s to rotate her body through 1.00 rev as she floats in the vehicle. What time interval is required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth
Answer:
t₀ = 1.55 s
Explanation:
According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, when an object moves with a speed comparable to speed of light, the time interval measured for the event, by an observer in motion relative to the event is not the same as measured by an observer at rest.
It is given as:
t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]
where,
t = time measured by astronaut in motion = 3.1 s
t₀ = time required according to observer on earth = ?
v = relative velocity = 0.87 c
c = speed of light
3.1 s = t₀/[√(1 - 0.87²c²/c²)]
(3.1 s)(0.5) = t₀
t₀ = 1.55 s
Answer:
The time interval required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth = [tex]6.29sec[/tex]Explanation:
Time interval required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth is given as [tex]\delta t[/tex]

A resistor made of Nichrome wire is used in an application where its resistance cannot change more than 1.35% from its value at 20.0°C. Over what temperature range can it be used (in °C)?
Answer:
Pls seeattached file
Explanation:
A resistor made of Ni chrome wire is used in an application where its resistance cannot be more than 1.35 % so its temperature range will be from 33.75 to -33.75 °C.
What is Resistance?Electrical resistance, or resistance to electricity, is a force that opposes the flow of current. Ohms are used to expressing resistance values.
When there is an electron difference between two terminals, electricity will flow from high to low. In opposition to that flow is resistance. As resistance rises, the current declines. On the other side, when the resistance falls, the current rises.
According to the question,
R = R₀ (1 + α ΔT)
(1 + 0.0135)R₀ = R₀(1 + α ΔT)
ΔT = (1 + 0.0135) / α
= 0.0135 / 0.0004
= 33.75 °C.
ΔT = [(1 - 0.0135) -1]/0.004
= -33.75 °C

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y-direction, the wave is traveling in the
Answer:
The wave is travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
Explanation:
An electromagnetic wave has an oscillating magnetic and electric field. The electric and magnetic field both oscillate perpendicularly one to the other, and the wave travels perpendicularly to the direction of oscillation of the electric and magnetic field.
In this case, if the magnetic field is in the +x-axis direction, and the electric field is in the +y-axis direction, we can say with all assurance that the wave will be travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
A charged capacitor and an inductor are connected in series. At time t = 0, the current is zero, but the capacitor is charged. If T is the period of the resulting oscillations, the next time, after t = 0 that the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is a maximum is
Answer:
t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
Explanation:
The circuit described is an oscillating circuit where the charge of the condensation stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular velocity of the oscillation is
w = √1/LC
2π / T =√1 / LC
T = 2π √LC
The energy is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor
Uc = Q₀² / 2C
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor
U = L I² / 2
in the intermediate instant the energy is stored in the two elements.
Since the period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
After t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).
The given problem is based on the charging and discharging concepts of capacitor. An oscillating circuit is a circuit where the charge of the capacitor stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular frequency of the oscillation is given as,
[tex]\omega =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\\dfrac{2 \pi}{T} =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\T = 2\pi \times \sqrt{LC}[/tex]
here, T is the period of oscillation.
Also, the energy stored in the capacitor is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor. So, the energy stored is given as,
[tex]U =\dfrac{Q^{2}}{2C}[/tex]
here, C is the capacitance.
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor. So, the expression for the energy stored in the inductor is,
[tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex]
here, L is the inductance and I is the current.
Note :- The period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor.
Thus, we conclude that after t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).

A car travels at 45 km/h. If the driver breaks 0.65 seconds after seeing the traffic light turn yellow, how far will the car continue to travel before it begins to slow?
Answer:
8.1 m
Explanation:
Convert km/h to m/s.
45 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 12.5 m/s
Distance = speed × time
d = (12.5 m/s) (0.65 s)
d = 8.125 m
Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart. If the spacing between the first and third dark fringes is to be 4.0 mm, what is the distance from the slits to a screen?
Answer:
L = 0.8 m
Explanation:
Since, the distance between first and third dark fringes is 4 mm. Therefore, the fringe spacing between consecutive dark fringes will be:
Δx = 4 mm/2 = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
but,
Δx = λL/d
λ = wavelength of the light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit spacing = 0.2 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m
L = Distance between slits and screen = ?
Therefore, using the values, we get:
2 x 10⁻³ m = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m)(L)/(0.2 x 10⁻³)
L = (2 x 10⁻³ m)(0.2 x 10⁻³ m)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)
L = 0.8 m
In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.4 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 450 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 590 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 5 bright fringes of the two interference patterns?
Answer:
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
In double-slit experiments the constructive interference pattern is described by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
In this case we have two wavelengths, so two separate patterns are observed, let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
substituting
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
y = m λ / d L
let's apply this formula for each wavelength
λ = 450 nm = 450 10⁻⁹ m
m = 5
d = 5.0 mm = 5.0 10⁻³ m
y₁ = 5 450 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₁ = 3.21 10⁻⁴ m
we repeat the calculation for lam = 590 nm = 590 10⁻⁹ m
y₂ = 5 590 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₂= 4.21 10⁻⁴ m
the separation of these two lines is
Δy = y₂ - y₁
Δy = (4.21 - 3.21) 10⁻⁴ m
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
A high school physics student claims her muscle car can achieve a constant acceleration of 10 ft/s/s. Her friend develops an accelerometer to confirm the feat. The accelerometer consists of a 1 ft long rod (mass=4 kg) with one end attached to the ceiling of the car, but free to rotate. During acceleration, the rod rotates. What will be the angle of rotation of the rod during this acceleration? Assume the road is flat and straight.
Answer: Ф = 17.2657 ≈ 17°
Explanation:
we simply apply ET =0 about the ending of the rod
so In.g.L/2sinФ - In.a.L/2cosФ = 0
g.sinФ - a.cosФ = 0
g.sinФ = a.cosФ
∴ tanФ = a/g
Ф = tan⁻¹ a / g
Ф = tan⁻¹ ( 10 / 32.17405)
Ф = tan⁻¹ 0.31080948777
Ф = 17.2657 ≈ 17°
Therefore the angle of rotation of the rod during this acceleration is 17.2657 ≈ 17°
A long bar slides on two contact points and is in motion with velocity ν. A steady, uniform, magnetic field B is present. The induced current through resistor R is:
Answer:
The induced current in the resistor is I = BLv/R
Explanation:
The induced emf ε in the long bar of length, L in a magnetic field of strength, B moving with a velocity, v is given by
ε = BLv.
Now, the current I in the resistor is given by
I = ε/R where ε = induced emf in circuit and R = resistance of resistor.
So, the current I = ε/R.
substituting the value of ε the induced emf, we have
I = ε/R
I = BLv/R
So, the induced current through the resistor is given by I = BLv/R
Water flows at speed v in a pipe of radius R. At what speed does the water flow through a constriction in which the radius of the pipe is R/3
Answer:
v₂ = 9 v
Explanation:
For this exercise in fluid mechanics, let's use the continuity equation
v₁ A₁ = v₂ A₂
where v is the velocity of the fluid, A the area of the pipe and the subscripts correspond to two places of interest.
The area of a circle is
A = π R²
let's use the subscript 1 for the starting point and the subscript 2 for the part with the constraint
In this case v₁ = v and the area is
A₁ = π R²
in the second point
A₂= π (R / 3)²
we substitute in the continuity equation
v π R² = v₂ π R² / 9
v = v₂ / 9
v₂ = 9 v
When a mercury thermometer is heated, the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass. What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass
Answer:
This means that mercury has a higher or faster expansion rate than glass
Explanation:
This is because When a container expands, the reservoir in the glass expands at the same rate as the glass. Thus, if there is something in a glass and both expand at the same rate, they have no change - but if the contents expand faster, they will fill the container to a higher level, and if the contents expand slower, they will fill the container to a lower level (relative to the new size of the container).
