Figure 35-28 shows four situations in which light reflects perpendicularly from a thin film of thickness L sandwiched between much thicker materials. The indexes of refraction are given. In which situations does Eq. 35-36 correspond to the reflections yielding maxima (that is, a bright film).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The situation corresponding to the reflections yielding maxima is (c).

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

The thickness of the thin film for each situation is L.

The index of refraction of the thin film for situation (a) is 1.6.

The index of refraction of the thin film for situation (b) is 1.6.

The index of refraction of the thin film for situation (c) is 1.3.

The index of refraction of the thin film for situation (d) is 1.6.

02

Path length difference: 

If two different waves exactly in phase meet each other then they produce fully constructive interference having a bright film.

The formula for the path length difference (2L) of the light in the medium is given by,

2L=m+12n2

Here, is the wavelength of the incident light, n2 is the index of refraction of the medium, and m=0,1,2...... for maxima-bright film in air.

03

Situation yielding maxima: 

According to the equation 35-36,

2L=m+12n2

For a particular order, the maximum intensity will be possible when,

2L1n2

From the above relation, the reflections yield maxima for a medium having the least value of the index of refraction.

Comparing the given four situations,

1.3<1.6

So, the value of the index of refraction is the least for situation (c).

Hence, the situation corresponding to the reflections yielding maxima (that is, a bright film) is (c).

Hence, the situation corresponding to the reflections yielding maxima (that is, a bright film) is (c).

Figure 35-24a gives intensity lversus position x on the viewing screen for the central portion of a two-slit interference pattern. The other parts of the figure give phasor diagrams for the electric field components of the waves arriving at the screen from the two slits (as in Fig. 35-13a).Which numbered points on the screen bestcorrespond to which phasor diagram?

(a) Figure 1

(b) Figure 2

(c) Figure 3

(d) Figure 4

In Fig. 35-45, a broad beam of light of wavelength 683 nm is sent directly downward through the top plate of a pair of glass plates. The plates are 120 mm long, touch at the left end, and are separated by 48.0m at the right end. The air between the plates acts as a thin film. How many bright fringes will be seen by an observer looking down through the top plate?

In Fig. 35-32a, a beam of light in material 1 is incident on a boundary at an angle of 30o. The extent to which the light is bent due to refraction depends, in part, on the index of refraction n2of material 2. Figure 35-32b gives the angle of refraction 2versus n2for a range of possible n2values, from na=1.30to nb=1.90. What is the speed of light in material 1?

A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (=589nm)that have an angular separation of 3.5010-3rad. For what wavelength would the angular separation be 10% greater?

Suppose that the two waves in Fig. 35-4 have a wavelength =500nmin air. What multiple of gives their phase difference when they emerge if (a) n1=1.50, n2=16and L=8.50m; (b) n1=1.62, n2=1.72, and L=8.50m; and (c) n1=1.59, n2=1.79, and L=3.25m? (d) Suppose that in each of these three situations, the waves arrive at a common point (with the same amplitude) after emerging. Rank the situations according to the brightness the waves produce at the common point.
