Reflected back to observer and transmitted during glass

Reference no: EM13668534

We wish to coat a flat slab of glass (n = 1.50) with a transparent material (n = 1.25) and illuminate with light of wavelength 600 nm (in vacuum). For what minimum thickness of the coating will the light be (a) reflected back to the observer and (b) transmitted during the glass (i.e. no reflection back to the observer)? [Note: t = 0 is not an answer for (b)].

Assuming that each turn of the coil is a square : A generator uses a coil that has 80 turns and a 0.40-T magnetic field. The frequency of this generator is 60.0 Hz, and its emf has an rms value of 120 V. Assuming that each turn of the coil is a square (anapproximation), decide the length of the wire..

Automobile moves by constant speed down a highway : When an automobile moves by constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is utilized to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car with the air and the road.

How long will this smoke detector work : The radioactive isotope 241Am, with a half-life of 432 years, is the active element in many smoke detectors. Assume such a detector will no longer function if the activity of the isotope it contains drops below 1/525 of its initial activity. How long..

Interference fringes of the two dissimilar patterns : In a double-slit experiment you saw in class the distance among slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.0 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen, one due to light by wavelength 480 nm and the other due to light with wavele..

Large heavy disk is mounted to a table by a firm clamp : A large heavy disk is mounted to a table by a firm clamp. A string is wound about an axle on the wheel from which a 100g mass is suspended. The radius of the axle is 0.01m and the large wheel has a mass of 2kg. The noted acceleration is 0.25m/sec2. W..

What is the average power of the elevator motor : A 685-kg elevator starts from rest and moves upward for 2.70 s by constant acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed, 1.75 m/s. What is the average power of the elevator motor through this period?

Two point-source loudspeakers are a certain distance apart : Two point-source loudspeakers are a certain distance apart, and a person stands 12.0 m in front of one of them on a line perpendicular to the baseline of the speakers. If the speakers emit identical 1000-Hz tones, what is their minimum nonzero separa..
