If a polarizing filter reduces the intensity of polarized light to \({\rm{50}}{\rm{.0\% }}\)of its original value, by how much are the electric and magnetic fields reduced?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric field and the magnetic field will reduce by \(\sqrt {\dfrac{1}{2}} \) of its original value.

Step by step solution

01

Definition electric and magnetic field

An electric field is essentially a force field created around a charged particle.

A magnetic field is a magnetic field generated around a permanent magnet or a moving charged object.

02

Applying Young’s slit experiment

As you know, visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The velocity of the electromagnetic wave is given by the following equation.

\(c = \nu \lambda \)

Also, we know that the visible light has wavelengths between\(380\;{\rm{nm}}\)and\(760\;{\rm{nm}}\). As we realize the wavelength of the wavelength of electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by

\({\lambda _n} = \dfrac{\lambda }{n}\)

Where,\(\lambda \)is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in vacuum and\(n\)is the redfraction index of the given medium. As we know the thickness of any material is given by

\(t = \dfrac{\lambda }{n}\)

As we know, Young's double-slit experiment has unusual results. As we know, light must interact with something as small as something. B. Narrow slot used by Young. To get the constructive interference of the double slit, the difference in optical path length must be an integral multiple of the wavelength.

\(d\sin (\theta ) = m\lambda \)

03

Applying Malu’s law

To get the destructive interference of the double slit, the difference in optical path length must be a half-integer multiple of the wavelength.

\(d\sin (\theta ) = \left( {m + \dfrac{1}{2}} \right)\lambda \)

Where,\({\rm{d}}\)is the distance between the slits,\(\theta \)is the angle from the original direction of the beam and\(m\)is the order of the interference.

As you know, light is polarized as it passes through a polarizing filter and other polarizing materials. Follow the Malus` law:

\(I = {I_0}{\cos ^2}(\theta )\)

Also, Brewster's law assigns that

\(\tan \left( {{\theta _b}} \right) = \dfrac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}}\).

 Step 4: Finding the electric and magnetic fields reduced.

Solve for first case:

As we know the relation between the electric field and the magnetic field is

\({I_1} = cB_1^2\)

Solve for second case:

As we know the relation between the electric field and the magnetic field is

\({I_2} = cB_2^2\)

Divide both equations together, then we get

\(\begin{aligned}\dfrac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}} &= \dfrac{{cB_1^2}}{{cB_2^2}}\\ &= \dfrac{{B_1^2}}{{B_2^2}}\dfrac{{{I_1}}}{{\dfrac{1}{2}{I_1}}}\\ &= 2\dfrac{{B_1^2}}{{B_2^2}}\dfrac{{B_1^2}}{{B_2^2}}\end{aligned}\)
Rearrange and solve for the magnetic field in the second case \({B_2}\):

\({B_2} = \sqrt {\dfrac{1}{2}} {B_1}\)

So, the electric field and the magnetic field will reduce by \(\sqrt {\dfrac{1}{2}} \) of its original value.

The analysis shown in the figure below also applies to diffraction gratings with lines separated by a distance d. What is the distance between fringes produced by a diffraction grating having 125 lines per centimeter for 600nmlight, if the screen is 1.05maway?

The distance between adjacent fringes isy=虫位/d, assuming the slit separation d is large compared with.

Analysis of an interference effect in clear solid shows that the wavelength of light in the solid is392nm. Knowing this light comes from a He-Ne laser and has a wavelength ofrole="math" localid="1654057129736" 633nm in air, is the substance zircon or diamond?

When particles scattering light are much smaller than its wavelength, the amount of scattering is proportional to1/4. Does this mean there is more scattering for small 位 than large 位? How does this relate to the fact that the sky is blue?

Figure 27.55 shows the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit. The pattern is actually a combination of single slit and double slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double slit or single slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single slit or double slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses.
