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

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
