Assuming the angular resolution found for the Hubble Telescope in Example \(27.5\), what is the smallest detail that could be observed on the Moon?
What is the spacing between structures in a feather that acts as a reflection grating, given that they produce a first-order maximum for light at a angle?
An electric current through hydrogen gas produces several distinct wavelengths of visible light. What are the wavelengths of the hydrogen spectrum, if they form first-order maxima at angles of, and role="math" localid="1654239338245" when projected on a diffraction grating having lines per centimeter? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in Problem-Solving Strategies for Wave Optics.
(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of 位 ) that will produce the first minimum for a wavelength 位 ? (b) What is its minimum width if it produces 50 minima? (c) 1000 minima?
Why does the wavelength of light decrease when it passes from vacuum into a medium? State which attributes change and which stay the same and, thus, require the wavelength to decrease.
