Chapter 35: Q77P (page 1077)

A Newton鈥檚 rings apparatus is to be used to determine the radius of curvature of a lens . The radii of the nth and (n+20th)bright rings are found to be 0.162cm and 0.368cm, respectively, in light of wavelength 546nm. Calculate the radius of curvature of the lower surface of the lens.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The radius of the curvature of the lower surface of the lens is 1.0m.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The radii ofnth=0.162cm

The radii of n+20=0.368cm

Wavelength 位=546nm

02

Definition of newton’s ring

Newton's ring is a phenomenon in which an interference pattern is created by the reflection of light between two surfaces; a spherical surface and an adjacent touching flat surface.

03

Determine the radius of the curvature 

The radius of curvature of the xth ring

Rx=0.162cm

For n+20thRn+20=0.368cm

Let the radius of the curvature of the lower surface of the lens be R.

The value of R is given by as

R=Rn+202-Rx220脳位R=0.368脳10-2鈥�m2-0.162脳10-2鈥�m220脳546脳10-9鈥�mR=0.9998mR=1.0m

Hence, the radius of the curvature of the lower surface of the lens is 1.0m.

Figure 35-27a shows the cross-section of a vertical thin film whose width increases downward because gravitation causes slumping. Figure 35-27b is a face-on view of the film, showing four bright (red) interference fringes that result when the film is illuminated with a perpendicular beam of red light. Points in the cross section corresponding to the bright fringes are labeled. In terms of the wavelength of the light inside the film, what is the difference in film thickness between (a) points a and b and (b) points b and d?

Two light rays, initially in phase and with a wavelength of 500 nm, go through different paths by reflecting from the various mirrors shown in Fig. 35-49. (Such a reflection does not itself produce a phase shift.) (a) What least value of distance will put the rays exactly out of phase when they emerge from the region? (Ignore the slight tilt of the path for ray 2.) (b) Repeat the question assuming that the entire apparatus is immersed in a protein solution with an index of refraction of 1.38.

In Fig. 35-40, two isotropic point sources of light (S1 and S2) are separated by distance 2.70渭malong a y axis and emit in phase at wavelength 900 nm and at the same amplitude. A light detector is located at point P at coordinate xPon the x axis. What is the greatest value of xP at which the detected light is minimum due to destructive interference?

A thin film of liquid is held in a horizontal circular ring, with air on both sides of the film. A beam of light at wavelength 550 nm is directed perpendicularly onto the film, and the intensity I of its reflection is monitored. Figure 35-47 gives intensity I as a function of time the horizontal scale is set by ts=20.0s. The intensity changes because of evaporation from the two sides of the film. Assume that the film is flat and has parallel sides, a radius of 1.80cm, and an index of refraction of 1.40. Also assume that the film鈥檚 volume decreases at a constant rate. Find that rate.

In Fig. 35-44, a broad beam of light of wavelength 630 nm is incident at 90掳 on a thin, wedge-shaped film with index of refraction 1.50. Transmission gives 10 bright and 9 dark fringes along the film鈥檚 length. What is the left-to-right change in film thickness?
