Aglass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.27). a light beam of variable wavelength from air is incident normally on the oil surface. observation of the reflected beam shows constructive interference at 501 nm. determine the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film.

152.7 nm

Explanation:

Refractive index of glass plate = n = 1.64

Refractive index of oil = n' = 1.27

wavelength = λ = 501 nm = 501 e-9 m

2n t = m  λ , since it undergoes constructive interference.

Thickness = t =  501 × 10⁻⁹ m / 2 (1.64)

                      = 152.7 nm

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

e) none of the above answers are correct
