A laser beam of intensity I reflects from a flat, totally reflecting surface of area A, with a normal at angle with the beam.Write an expression for the beam鈥檚 radiationpressurepr()onthe surface in terms of the beam鈥檚 pressurewhen=00.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Expression for the beam鈥檚 radiation pressure,pr() , in terms of the beam鈥檚 pressure pr when=00, is .pr()=pr(cos2)

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Intensity of laser beam isI.
  • Reflecting surface area is.A
  • The angle between beam and incident beam is.
02

Understanding the concept of radiation pressure

By using the concept of the radiation pressure and the ray diagram for the reflection we can find the required expression.

Formulae:

Radiation pressure for the total reflection with the normal incident ray,

pr=FNA=2INC(1)

The trigonometric formula of cosine angle,cos=adjacentsideHypotenuse(2)

03

Calculation of the radiation pressure of the beam

When the incident ray makes an angle with the surface, then the situation will be as shown.

InABO, the angle ofABOis given using equation (2) as follows:

cos=FNFIFN=FIcos(3)

In,BCOthe angle of BCOis given using equation (2) as follows:

cos=INIIN=Icos(4)

Using equations (3) and (4) in equation (1), we can get that

Hence, the expression of radiation of pressure is.pr()=pr(cos2)

A certain helium鈥搉eon laser emits red light in a narrow band of wavelengths centered at632.8nm and with a 鈥渨avelength width鈥 (such as on the scale of Fig. 33-1) of0.0100nm. What is the corresponding 鈥渇requency width鈥 for the emission?

In Fig. 33-77, an albatross glides at aconstant 15m/shorizontallyabove level ground, moving in a vertical plane that contains the Sun. It glides toward a wallof heighth=2.0m, which it will just barely clear. At that time of day, the angle of the Sun relative to the groundis=30.At what speed does the shadow of the albatross move (a) across the level ground and then (b) up the wall? Suppose that later a hawk happens to glide along the same path, alsoat15m/s.You see that when its shadow reaches the wall, the speed of the shadow noticeably increases. (c) Is the Sun now higher or lower in the sky than when the albatross flew by earlier? (d) If the speed of the hawk鈥檚 shadow on the wallis45m/s,what is the angle u of the Sun just then?

Question: In Fig. 33-64, a light ray in air is incident on a flat layer of material 2 that has an index of refraction n2=1.5 . Beneath material 2is material 3 with an index of refraction n3.The ray is incident on the air鈥搈aterial 2 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. The ray of light refracted into material 3happens to be incident on the material 2-material 3 interface at the Brewster angle for that interface. What is the value of n3 ?

At a beach, the light is generally partially polarized due to reflections off sand and water. At a particular beach on a particular day near sundown, the horizontal component of the electric field vector is 2.3times the vertical component. A standing sunbather puts on polarizing sunglasses; the glasses eliminate the horizontal field component.

(a) What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches the sunbather鈥檚 eyes?

(b) The sunbather, still wearing the glasses, lies on his side. What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches his eyes?
