From Fig.33-2, approximate the (a) smaller (b) larger wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity. What are the (c) wavelength, (d) frequency, and (e) period of the light at which the eye is the most sensitive?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The smaller approximate wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity is 515 nm.

b) The larger approximate wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity is 610 nm.

c)The wavelength of the light at which the eye most sensitive is 555 nm.

d)The wavelength of the light at which the eye the most sensitive is5.411014Hz

e) The time period is 1.8510-15s.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Speed of light, c=3108m/s.

02

Understanding the concepts of frequency, period, and wavelength

The given figure 33-2 shows the relative sensitivity of the average human eye to electromagnetic waves at different wavelengths. This portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to which the eye is sensitive is called visible light. Its range is 400 nm to 700 nm. Using the given figure, we can find the required wavelengths.

03

(a) Calculations of approximate the smaller wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye’s maximum sensitivity

From the graph given in fig 33-2, we can observe that the smaller wavelength, at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity, is approximately 515 nm.

Thus, the smaller approximate wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity is 515 nm.

04

(b) Calculations of approximate the larger wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye’s maximum sensitivity

From the graph given in fig 33-2, we can observe that the larger wavelength, at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity, is approximately 610 nm.

Thus, the larger approximate wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye鈥檚 maximum sensitivity is 610 nm.

05

(c) Calculations of the wavelength of the light at which the eye is the most sensitive

From the figure, the wavelength at which the eye is the most sensitive is about 555 nm.

Thus, the wavelength of the light at which the eye most sensitive is 555 nm.

06

(d) Calculations of the wavelength of the light at which the eye is the most sensitive

To find the frequency, we have from c), =55510-9m. Therefore,

f=c

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

f=310855510-9=5.411014Hz

Thus, the wavelength of the light at which the eye the most sensitive is 5.411014Hz.

07

(e) Calculations of the time period

The time period can be calculated as,

T=1f

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

T=15.411014=1.8510-15s

Thus, the time period is 1.8510-15s.

In Fig. 33-42, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets. The angles1,2and3of the polarizing directions are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the yaxis (they are not drawn to scale). Angles1and 3are fixed, but angle 2can be varied. Figure 33-43 gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 3 as a function of 2. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.) What percentage of the light鈥檚 initial intensity is transmitted by the system when 2=30?
