Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a water layer 1500 nm thick. The refractive index of water is 1.33, and that of the oil is 1.40. The number of wavelengths of light that fit in the oil film is closest to:

in oil film        λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film    λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

             v = λ f

in the void we have

             c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

            c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

              n = c / v

              n = λ₀ /λ

              λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

            λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

            λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
