Atechnician places a fluid substance, with a refractive index of 1.61, between two horizontal panes of flat glass (each of which has n = 1.45). she then illuminates the assembly from above with monochromatic light (λ = 330 nm). what is the minimum thickness (in nm) that the liquid layer must have, if the light is to be strongly reflected back toward its source?

the minimum thickness (in nm)  t = 102.5 nm

Explanation:

t = thickness of the film

n = index of refraction = 1.61

m = order = 1

∝ = wavelength = 330 x 10-9 m

so we have the formula

2nt = m∝

2 (1.61) t = (1) (330 x 10-9)

then...

t = 1.025 x 10-7 m

converting...

t = 102.5 nm

what is the speed of a softball that travels 20m in 2secs

speed = 20/2 = 10 m/s

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
