3. An oil well contains water at the bottom, oil floating on it, and air above the oil. You performed
two time-of-arrival measurements with an instrument that measures the depth of the well using
a light beam. The first reading on the instrument is t1= 1.33us and the second one is
t2= 1.29 us taken after a certain amount of oil was pumped out.
Calculate the change in the oil level considering the oil refractive index 1.46.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off the surface.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off the surface. She aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). The index of refraction of water is 1.33.Part A: The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot? t= 313nmPart B: Suppose the oil had an index...

A hot-air balloon is initially floating (stationary) a few metres above the ground. The radius of the spherical balloon is 6.25 m, and the density of surrounding air is 1.29 kg m-3. "Ballast" is weight of negligible volume that can be dropped to make the balloon rise. How much weight would you have to drop overboard to make the balloon rise 105 m in 15.0 s? You may assume that the density of surrounding air remains constant.

An oil film (n = 1.45) floating on the surface of water has white light incident on it at normal angle of incidence (i.e. perpendicular to the film). The film is 280 nm thick. For this problem, you will need to know that the visible spectrum consists of wavelengths of light from 400 to 700 nm. (a) What type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the air-oil interface, and what type of reflection (hard or soft) occurs at the...

1. An insulated container contains 1.20kg of water with 0.73kg of ice floating in it. You place a block of iron with mass of 4.60kg in this ice bath. The iron is initially at a temperature of 400 ºC. What is the composition and temperature of the final mixture? For ice Lf=33.5x104J/kg. For water c=4186J/(kg•K). For iron c=448 J/(kg•K). 2. A heat transfer of 9.5 x 105 J is needed to convert a block of ice at -15°C to water at 15°C. What was the...

a.) A particular patch of a vegetable oil (n=1.30) floating in water (n=1.33) is 530 nm thick. What is the longest wavelength which will undergo constructive interference on reflecting from the surface? b). For a particular application, you want to apply an anti-reflective coating to glasses which will minimize reflection of green light with a wavelength of 550 nm. The index of refraction is ncoat= 1.30, and it will be applied on glass with index of refraction of nglass= 1.50....

An oil company wants to build a pipeline to take oil from an oil well to a refinery. Unfortunately, the well and the refinery are on either side of a straight river which is 10 miles wide, and they are 50 miles apart along the coastline (that is, if you want to go from the well to the refinery you must first cross 10 miles of river and then go 50 miles along the side of the river). The company...
