Chapter 17: Q. 26 (page 458)

A very thin oil film n=1.25floats on watern=1.33.

What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for

green light with a wavelength of 500 nm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The oil film has a thickness of200nm.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The thin oil film has a refractive index of n=1.25

The reflected green light has a wavelength of位=500nm=5脳10-7m.

02

Thickness of the film determination

The thickness of the thinnest film of oil can be obtained by the equation of constructive interference as, , where

For thinnest film, consider

Thus, thickness of the film should be,

d=位2nd=5脳10-7m2脳1.25d=2脳10-7md=200nm

FIGURE EX17.5 shows a standing wave oscillating at 100 Hz on a string. What is the wave speed?

Two loudspeakers emit 400 Hz notes. One speaker sits on the

ground. The other speaker is in the back of a pickup truck. You

hear eight beats per second as the truck drives away from you.

What is the truck鈥檚 speed?

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.50 m. If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x = 0.90 m.

a. What is the frequency of the sound? Assume vsound = 340 m/s.

b. What is the phase difference between the speakers?

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the x-axis. The amplitude of each wave is a. The sound intensity is minimum when speaker 2 is 10 cm behind speaker 1. The intensity increases as speaker 2 is moved forward and first reaches maximum, with amplitude 2a, when it is 30 cm in front of speaker 1. What is

a. The wavelength of the sound?

b. The phase difference between the two loudspeakers?

c. The amplitude of the sound (as a multiple of a) if the speakers

are placed side by side?
