A metal slowly forms an oxide film which completely protects the metal when the film thickness is 3.956 thousand ths of an inch. If the film thickness is 1.281 thou. in 6 weeks, how much longer will it be before it is 2.481 thou? The rate of film formation follows first order kinetics.

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the first-order kinetics equation for the formation of the oxide film. Here’s how we can approach it: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - The maximum thickness of the oxide film (A) = 3.956 thousandths of an inch. - The thickness of the film after 6 weeks (x) = 1.281 thousandths of an inch. - We need to find out how much longer it will take to reach a thickness of 2.481 thousandths of an inch. ### Step 2: Calculate A - x for the first scenario ...

Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil slicks, show patterns of alternating dark and bright regions resulting from interference among the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase their crest and troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the aplitude of the resultant wave will be greater than the amplitude of either constituent wave. if the two waves are out of phase, the crests of one wave will coincide with the troughs of the other wave.
