Light of frequency f illuminating a long narrow slit produces a diffraction pattern. (a) If we switch to light of frequency 1.3f, does the pattern expand away from the center or contract toward the center? (b) Does the pattern expand or contract if, instead, we submerge the equipment in clear corn syrup?
Figure 36-46 is a graph of intensity versus angular positionfor the diffraction of an x-ray beam by a crystal. The horizontal scale is set by.The beam consists of two wavelengths, and the spacing between the reflecting planes is. What are the (a) shorter and (b) longer wavelengths in the beam?

A spy satellite orbiting at 160 km above Earth’s surface has a lens with a focal length of 3.6 m and can resolve objects on the ground as small as 30 cm. For example, it can easily measure the size of an aircraft’s air intake port. What is the effective diameter of the lens as determined by diffraction consideration alone? Assume .
An x-ray beam of a certain wavelength is incident on an NaCl crystal, at to a certain family of reflecting planes of spacing. If the reflection from those planes is of the first order, what is the wavelength of the x rays?
Visible light is incident perpendicularly on a diffraction grating of 200 rulings/mm. What are the (a) longest, (b) second longest, and (c) third longest wavelengths that can be associated with an intensity maximum at θ = 30.0°?
