Answer:
Explanation:
The free body diagram of the block on the slide is shown in the below figure
Since the block is in equilibrium we apply equations of statics to compute the necessary unknown forces
N is the reaction force between the block and the slide
For equilibrium along x-axis we have
Using value of N from equation β in α we get value of force as
Applying values we get
Answer:
the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm
the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm
Explanation:
From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)
Now for constructive interference;
Δx=
replacing ;
Δx = 2t ; we have:
2t =
Given that thickness t = 700 nm
Then
2× 700 = --- equation (1)
For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference
2× 980 = ----- equation (2)
Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'
λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )
λ = 1960 - 1400
λ = 560 nm
Thus; the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm
b)
For the smallest thickness
∴
Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm
(a)
The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by
where
I is the intensity of the wave
c is the speed of light
In this problem,
and substituting , we find the radiation pressure
(b)
Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:
starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:
And then, since we know the mass of the atom
we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:
