FIGURE shows the light intensity on a screen 2.5mbehind an aperture. The aperture is illuminated with light of wavelength 620nm.

a. Is the aperture a single slit or a double slit? Explain.

b. If the aperture is a single slit, what is its width? If it is a double slit, what is the spacing between the slits?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The Aperture is a double-slit experiment

(b) Width of the spacing between two slits, d=1.5510-4m

Step by step solution

01

Double-slit experiment

It proposes that things we name particles, such as electrons, mix particle and wave characteristics in some way. This is quantum mechanics well-known wave-particle duality.

02

Find the Apertures is single-slit or Double-slit (part a)

Because the intensity of the light fringes drops slowly as the order of the fringes increases, and the fringes are evenly spaced, the given graph displays a pattern of double-slit experiment.

03

Find Width (part b)

In the double slit experiment, the position of the brilliant fringes can be written as follows:

ym=mLd

As a result, the distance between any two brilliant fringes is

y=ym+1-ym=(m+1)Ld-mLd=Ld

We may calculate the ratio by rearranging this equation.

d=Ly

The spacing in between two consecutive brilliant fringes is1cm, as seen in the diagram. hence

d=62010-9m2.5m110-2m

d=1.5510-4m

A Michelson interferometer operating at a 600nmwavelength has a 2.00-cm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror M2is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00atmpressure is 1.00028. How many brightdark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

Optical computers require microscopic optical switches to turn signals on and off. One device for doing so, which can be implemented in an integrated circuit, is the Mach-Zender interferometer seen in FIGURE. Light from an on-chip infrared laser (=1.000m)is split into two waves that travel equal distances around the arms of the interferometer. One arm passes through an electro-optic crystal, a transparent material that can change its index of refraction in response to an applied voltage. Suppose both arms are exactly the same length and the crystal鈥檚 index of refraction with no applied voltage is1.522.

a. With no voltage applied, is the output bright (switch closed, optical signal passing through) or dark (switch open, no signal)? Explain.

b. What is the first index of refraction of the electro-optic crystal larger than 1.522that changes the optical switch to the state opposite the state you found in part a?

You've found an unlabeled diffraction grating. Before you can use it, you need to know how many lines per it has. To find out, you illuminate the grating with light of several different wavelengths and then measure the distance between the two first-order bright fringes on a viewing screen 150cmbehind the grating. Your data are as follows:


Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the number of lines per mm.

Light from a helium-neon laser (=633nm)passes through a circular aperture and is observed on a screen 4.0mbehind the aperture. The width of the central maximum is2.5cm. What is the diameter (in mm) of the hole?

Light of 630nmwavelength illuminates two slits that are0.25mmapart. FIGURE EX33.5shows the intensity pattern seen on a screen behind the slits. What is the distance to the screen?
