A soap film (n = 1.33) is formed in a loop of wire that is mounted vertically is not exactly uniform in thickness because of its weight, but wedge-shaped in cross section. When the film is illuminated with violet light of wavelength 405 nm, one sees that a distance of 2.20 cm separates two bright fringes that are 4 orders apart. By how much does the film differ in thickness over this distance?

For astronomy class, please answer this question clearly, thank you .
Titan’s atmosphere contains a large amount of photosensitive methane. We know because of basic physics and chemistry that there must be a source of methane on Titan that replenishes the atmospheric methane.
a) Describe what astronomers thought might be occurring on Titan before the Cassini/Huygens mission.
b) Describe the findings of the Cassini/Huygens mission that either supported or disproved the original hypotheses.

The potential energy of a magnetic moment in an external magnetic field is U = - ??B. U is smallest when B is parallel to ? and largest when it is antiparallel. Since the magnetic moment of the electron is directed opposite to its spin (because it has a negative charge), the electron’s energy is highest when the spin is parallel to B. The two possible energy states for the electron are the spin up state (ms = 1212) and the spin down state (ms = - 1212). Calculate the energy difference ?E (in eV) between these states if the electron is placed in a magnetic field of B = 1.1 T. Assume that n = 10 and l = 0 for the electron.
If these electrons are bombarded with photons that have an energy equal to this energy difference ?E, then the electrons can be excited from the spin down state to the spin up state. This is referred to as a “spin flip” transition and the technique is called Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). Find the wavelength of the photons (in meters) that are needed to excite such spin flip transitions.
What type of electromagnetic wave has this wavelength?

A ball dropped from a height of 4.00m makes an elastic collision with the ground in a vacuum chamber. a) What is the difference between the kinetic energy of the ball immediately before the collision and the kinetic energy of the ball immediately after the collision? b) Is the kinetic energy of the ball conserved in its subsequent motion after the collision? c) What is the difference between the momentum of the ball immediately before the collision and the momentum of the ball immediately after the collision? d) Is the total momentum of the system conserved, and if so, what other parts of the system must be included other than the ball? e) Identify an equilibrium point for the entire system. Explain why the motion around this equilibrium point is periodic and determine the period of the motion. f) Is the motion simple harmonic motion? Explain.

Alex is riding in a car that has LEDs at each end. The car passes Jordan, who is standing on the ground 25 m from the car's path, with velocity 0.8c. Flashes from the two LEDs reach Jordan simultaneously, and when he observes them, he observes one to be 3.75 m to his left, and the other to be 3.75 m to his right. According to Alex, how far apart are the LEDs, and what was the delay between their flashes?

There are three possibilities for the shape/curvature of the universe: positive curvature (closed), negative curvature (open), and flat curvature. These all imply different things about the ultimate fate of the expanding universe. What kinds of observable tests could cosmologists use to distinguish one curvature from the next? Please write a detailed paragraph explaining what kinds of theory/observations cosmologists would have to make to determine that the universe has negative curvature (open)?
