What is the wavelength of ultraviolet light whose frequency is ?
If a diver who is underwater shines a flashlight upward toward the surface, at an angle of from the normal, at what angle does the light emerge from the water? The indices of refraction are: water, ; air,
The wavelength of red light is about . What are the frequency and period of this radiation?
You have a small but bright computer display that is only 4cm wide by 3cm tall. You will place a lens near the display to project an image of the display about 2.5m tall onto a large screen that is 6m from the lens of the projector. (a) Should you use a converging lens or a diverging lens? (b) Approximately, what should the focal length of the lens be? (c) Suppose that you choose a lens that has the focal length that you calculated in part (b). What exactly should be the distance from the computer display to the lens? (d) In order that the screen display be right side up, should the computer display be inverted or right side up? (e) On another occasion the screen is moved close, so that it is only 4m from the lens. To focus the image, you have to readjust the distance between the computer display and the lens. What is the new exact distance from the computer display to the lens? (f) How tall is the image on the screen, now that the screen is only 6m from the lens?
A slab (pulse) of electromagnetic radiation that is 15cm thick is propagating downward (in the direction) toward a short horizontal copper wire located at the origin and oriented parallel to the z axis, as shown in Figure 23.123. (a) The direction of the electric field inside the slab is out of the page (in the direction). On a diagram, show and describe clearly the direction of the magnetic field inside the slab.
(b) You stand on the x axis at location, at right angles to the direction of propagation of the pulse. Your friend stands on the z axis at location. The pulse passes the copper wire at time , and at a later time you observe new nonzero electric and magnetic fields at your location, but your friend does not. Explain. What is ? (Give a numerical answer.) How long a time do these new fields last for you? (c) On a diagram, show and describe clearly the directions of these new nonzero fields ( and ) at your location. Explain briefly but carefully.
