You are standing in air and are looking at a flat piece of glass on which there is a layer of transparent plastic . Light whose wavelength is 589 nm is vacuum is incident nearly perpendicularly on the coated glass and reflects into your eyes. The layer of plastic looks dark. Find the two smallest possible nonzero values for the thickness of the layer.

t_min,1 = 183 nm

t_min,2 = 366 nm

Explanation:

Given:-

- The wavelength of light , λ = 589 nm

- The refractive index of glass, ng = 1.52

- The refractive index of transparent plastic, np = 1.61

Find:-

Find the two smallest possible nonzero values for the thickness of the layer.

Solution:-

- The concept behind this problem is of destructive interference of light ( "looks dark" ) that occurs when the path difference between lights is odd multiples of 1/2 wavelengths.

- When light travels from air to plastic the phase difference of incident light is:

                                        λ / 2

- When the light falls on plastic-glass boundary, there is no phase change, hence the net change in phase is λ / 2.

- So for destructive difference we have the following relation for thickness (t):

                        2t + λ / 2 = ( m + 0.5)*λ

- We will solve for first order of destructive interference, m = 1 as first possible smallest value:

                        2t = 1.5*λ - λ / 2 = λ

                        t = λ / 2*np

                        t_min,1 = 589 / 2*1.61

                        t_min,1= 183 nm

- We will solve for first order of destructive interference, m = 2 as second possible smallest value:

                        2t = 2.5* λ - 0.5*λ = 2 λ

                          t =  λ /np

                          t_min,2 = 589 / 1.61

                          t_min,2 = 366 nm

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
