A beam of white light enters a transparent material. Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n are refracted at angle θ2.

Wavelengths for which the index of refraction is n + δn, where δn<<n, are refracted at angle θ2+δθ.

a). Show that the angular separation of the two wavelengths, in radians, is δθ=-(δn/n)tanθ2.

b). A beam of white light is incident on a piece of glass at 30.0°. Deep violet light is refracted 0.28° more than deep red light. The index of refraction for deep red light is known to be 1.552. What is the index of refraction for deep violet light?

Short Answer

Expert verified

δθ=-(δn/n)tanθ2

δn=-(n/tanθ2)δθ

Step by step solution

01

Given values δn=-0.28οnred=1.552θ1=30ο

a). From Snell's law, we have

sin θ1= n sin θ2and sin θ1

=(n+δn) sin (θ2+δθ)

02

b) we use formula,            δθ=-(δn/n)tanθ2

From previous formula ,we have to find value forδn

Modern microscopes are more likely to use a camera than human viewing. This is accomplished by replacing the eyepiece in Figure 35.14 with a photo-ocular that focuses the image of the objective to a real image on the sensor of a digital camera. A typical sensor is 22.5 mm wide and consists of 5625 4.0@mm@ wide pixels. Suppose a microscopist pairs a 40* objective with a 2.5* photo-ocular.

a. What is the field of view? That is, what width on the microscope stage, in mm, fills the sensor?

b. The photo of a cell is 120 pixels in diameter. What is the cell’s actual diameter, in mm?

A common optical instrument in a laser laboratory is a beam expander. one type of beam expander is shown in FIGURE P35.28.

a. For what lens spacing d does a parallel laser beam exit from

the right?

b. What is the width of the exiting laser beam?

A standardized biological microscope has an 8.0mmfocal length objective. what focal-length eyepiece should be used to achieve a total magnification of100x?

Mars (6800kmdiameter)is viewed through a telescope on a night when it is 1.1×108kmfrom the earth. Its angular size as seen through the eyepiece is 0.50°, the same size as the full moon seen by the naked eye. If the eyepiece focal length is 25mm, how long is the telescope?

Two converging lenses with focal lengths of 40cmand 20cmare 10cmapart. A 2.0cmtall object is 15cmin front of the40cmfocal-length lens.

a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.

b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.
