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.

FIGURE EX17.28 shows the circular wave fronts emitted by two

wave sources.

a. Are these sources in phase or out of phase? Explain.

b. Make a table with rows labeled P, Q, and R and columns

labeled r1,r2,∆r,and C/D. Fill in the table for points P, Q,

and R, giving the distances as multiples of l and indicating,

with a C or a D, whether the interference at that point is

constructive or destructive.

Two loudspeakers in a plane, 5.0 m apart, are playing the same frequency. If you stand 12.0 m in front of the plane of the speakers, centered between them, you hear a sound of maximum intensity. As you walk parallel to the plane of the speakers, staying 12.0 m in front of them, you first hear a minimum of sound intensity when you are directly in front of one of the speakers. What is the frequency of the sound? Assume a sound speed of 340 m/s.

A 280 Hz sound wave is

directed into one end of the

trombone slide seen in FIGURE

CP17.77. A microphone

is placed at the other end to

record the intensity of sound

waves that are transmitted

through the tube. The straight

sides of the slide are 80 cm in length and 10 cm apart with a

semicircular bend at the end. For what slide extensions s will the

microphone detect a maximum of sound intensity?

Standing waves on a 1.0-m-long string that is fixed at both ends are seen at successive frequencies of 36 Hz and 48 Hz. a. What are the fundamental frequency and the wave speed? b. Draw the standing-wave pattern when the string oscillates at 48 Hz.

A soap bubble is essentially a very thin film of water 1n = 1.332 surrounded by air. The colors that you see in soap bubbles are produced by interference.

a. Derive an expression for the wavelengths lC for which constructive interference causes a strong reflection from a soap bubble of thickness d. Hint: Think about the reflection phase shifts at both boundaries.

b. What visible wavelengths of light are strongly reflected from a 390-nm-thick soap bubble? What color would such a soap bubble appear to be?
