Chapter 35: Q.7 (page 1016)

A diffraction-limited lens can focus light to a 10渭mdiameter spot on a screen. Do the following actions make the spot diameter larger, make it smaller, or leave it unchanged?

A. Decreasing the wavelength of the light.

B. Decreasing the lens diameter.

C. Decreasing the lens focal length.

D. Decreasing the lens-to-screen distance.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(A) Decrease

(B) Increase

(C) Decrease

(D) Increase

Step by step solution

01

Part A).Step.1 Given Information 

Decreasing the wavelength of the light.

02

Part A) Step 2.simplify  

since 蝇min=2.44位fD,hence from this dependence we have

Decreasing 位decreases蝇

03

Part b).step 1. Given statement

Decreasing the lens diameter

04

Part b).Step 2.simplify

we know that 蝇min鈮�2.44位fD

Therefore, Decreasing D increases蝇

05

Part C).Step 1.Given statement

Decreasing the lens focal length.

06

Part C) Step 2.simplify

we have, 蝇min鈮�2.44位fD

Therefore, Decreasing the focal length f will decreases 蝇

07

Part D) Step 1.Given Information 

Decreasing the lens-to-screen distance.

08

Part D) Step 2.simplify 

we know that 蝇min鈮�2.44位fD

Decreasing the lens-to-screen distance means the screen is farther from the focal plane. This mean spot will get larger.

Once dark adapted, the pupil of your eye is approximately 7 mm in diameter. The headlights of an oncoming car are 120 cm apart. If the lens of your eye is diffraction limited, at what distance are the two headlights marginally resolved? Assume a wavelength of 600 nm and that the index of refraction inside the eye is 1.33. (Your eye is not really good enough to resolve headlights at this distance, due both to aberrations in the lens and to the size of the receptors in your retina, but it comes reasonably close.)

A sheet of glass has nred=1.52 and nviolet=1.55. A narrow beam of white light is incident on the glass at 30掳. What is the angular spread of the light inside the glass?

High-power lasers are used to cut and weld materials by focusing the laser beam to a very small spot. This is like using a magnifying lens to focus the sun light to a small spot that can burn things. As an engineer you have designed a laser cutting device in which the material to be cut is placed 5.0cmbehind the lens. you have selected a high-power laser with a wavelength of

your calculation indicates that the laser must be focused to a 5.0-渭m-diameterspot in order to have sufficient power to make the cut. what is the minimum diameter of lens you must install?

A narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz. The beam disperses in the quartz, with red light (l鈮�400nm)traveling at an angle of 26.3掳with respect to the normal and violet light (l鈮�400nm) traveling at 25.7掳 . The index of refraction of quartz for red light is 1.45. What is the index of refraction of quartz for violet light?
