Two yellow flowers are separated by 60 cm along a line perpendicular to your line of sight to the flowers. How far are you from a flower when they are at the limit of resolution according to the Rayleigh criterion? Assume the light from the flowers has a single wavelength of 550 nm and that your pupil has a diameter of 5.5 mm.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance of flowers from the observation point is 4918 m.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The distance between flowers is,D=60cm
  • The wavelength of the light from flower is,=500nm
  • The diameter of the pupil is, d=5.5mm
02

Concept/Significance of resolution power

The capacity to recognise two closely spaced points as distinct is referred to as resolution power. Resolution is the capacity to recognise detail.

03

Determination of the distance of flowers from the observation point.

The angle of diffraction is given by,

sin=1.22d=sin-11.22d 鈥(颈)

The distance between eye and length of the resolution is given by,

L=D=DL 鈥(颈颈)

Compare equation (i) and (ii) the distance of the flowers from the observation point is given by,

DL=1.22dL=Dd1.22

Here, is the wavelength of the light, dis the diameter of the pupil, D is the smallest resolution distance.

Substitute all the values in the above,

L=0.60m5,510-31.2255010-9m=4918m

Thus, the distance of flowers from the observation point is 4918 m.

(a) Show that the values of a at which intensity maxima for single-slit diffraction occur can be found exactly by differentiating Eq. 36-5 with respect to a and equating the result to zero, obtaining the condition tan=. To find values of a satisfying this relation, plot the curve y=迟补苍伪 and the straight line y= and then find their intersections, or use calculator to find an appropriate value of a by trial and error. Next, from =(m+12), determine the values of m associated with the maxima in the singleslit pattern. (These m values are not integers because secondary maxima do not lie exactly halfway between minima.) What are the (b) smallest and (c) associated , (d) the second smallest (e) and associated , (f) and the third smallest (g) and associated ?

The wall of a large room is covered with acoustic tile in which small holes are drilled 5.0mmfrom centre to centre. How far can a person be from such a tile and still distinguish the individual holes, assuming ideal conditions, the pupil diameter of the observer鈥檚 eye to be 4.00mm, and the wavelength of the room light to be 550nm?

An x-ray beam of a certain wavelength is incident on an NaCl crystal, at 30.0to a certain family of reflecting planes of spacing39.8pm.. If the reflection from those planes is of the first order, what is the wavelength of the x rays?

Monochromatic light of wavelength 441nmis incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 2.00maway, the distance between the second diffraction minimum and the central maximum is 1.50cm. (a) Calculate the angle of diffraction role="math" localid="1663145961694" of the second minimum. (b) Find the width of the slit.

Millimetre-wave radar generates a narrower beam than conventional microwave radar, making it less vulnerable to antiradar missiles than conventional radar.
