A sheet of glass is coated with a 500-nm-thick layer of oil 1n = 1.422.

a. For what visible wavelengths of light do the reflected waves interfere constructively?

b. For what visible wavelengths of light do the reflected waves interfere destructively?

c. What is the color of reflected light? What is the color of transmitted light?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The visible wavelength is (473, 710) nm

b) The visible wavelength is (406, 568) nm

c) Same as before hitting the film.

Step by step solution

01

The concept of reflected waves 

The changes in the direction of propagation of a wave when it meets the boundaries which follow the law of reflection.

02

Understanding the wavelengths and their constructive and destructive interference. 

The constructive interference in the traveling beam in the film will be multiple of 2Ï€.

The thickness is d and the wavelength is role="math" localid="1649150515694" λf=λnf

It can be written as ∆∅=2π2dλf=m·2π

Thus, 2dnfλ=m=λ=2dnfm

The m integer is missing then it is λmin=2·5·10-7·1.42mmin=4·10-7⇒mmin=3.55

Similarly λmax=2·5·10-7·1.42mmax=8·10-7⇒mmax=1.775

Thus, when the values are m=2 and m=3 the wavelengths will be role="math" localid="1649150962999" λ1=710nm,λ2=473nm

The destructive interference is m=2.5 and m=3.5 Thus, the interference will be λ1=568nm,λ2=406nm

Once the light goes back to the air the length becomes the similar.

A violin string is 30 cm long. It sounds the musical note A (440 Hz) when played without fingering. How far from the end of the string should you place your finger to play the note C (523 Hz)?

You are standing 2.5 m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers shown in FIGURE P17.68. They are 3.0 m apart and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase. As you begin to walk directly away from the speaker, at what distances from the speaker do you hear a minimum sound intensity? The room temperature is 20°C.

Western music uses a musical scale with equal temperament tuning, which means that any two adjacent notes have the same frequency ratio r. That is, notes n and n + 1 are related by fn+1 = r fn for all n. In this system, the frequency doubles every 12notes—an interval called an octave.

a. What is the value of r?

b. Orchestras tune to the note A, which has a frequency of440 Hz. What is the frequency of the next note of the scale (called A-sharp)?

FIGURE EX17.7 shows a standing wave on a string that is oscillating at 100 Hz. a. How many antinodes will there be if the frequency is increased to 200 Hz? b. If the tension is increased by a factor of 4, at what frequency will the string continue to oscillate as a standing wave that looks like the one in the figure?

The 40-cm-long tube of FIGURE P17.54 has a 40-cm-long insert

that can be pulled in and out. A vibrating tuning fork is held next to the

tube. As the insert is slowly pulled out, the sound from the tuning fork

creates standing waves in the tube when the total length L is 42.5 cm, 56.7 cm, and 70.9 cm. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Assume vsound = 343 m/s.
