Monochromatic light of wavelength 580 nm passes through a single slit and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen. Both the source and screen are far enough from the slit for Fraunhofer diffraction to apply.

(a) If the first diffraction minima are at _90.0_, so the central maximum completely fills the screen, what is the width of the slit?

(b) For the width of the slit as calculated in part (a), what is the ratio of the intensity at u = 45.0_ to the intensity at u = 0?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) 580 nm

b) 0.128

Step by step solution

01

Given.

=580nm=58010-9m.1=90,=45.0

02

Ray diagram.

03

Calculate the width of the slit.

We know that the angle of the minimum fringe in the single-slit experiment is given by

sinm=ma

And in the case of the first minimum fringe, m =1;

sin1=a

Solving for a,

a=sin1

Substitute the given,

a=580sin90a=580nm

04

Calculate the ratio of the intensity.

We know that the intensity is given by

I=I0sin222

We also know that

=2asin

Substitute into the intensity formula above, noting that 2 cancels;

I=I0sinasinasin2

To find the ratio of the intensity at=45.0 to the ratio of the intensity at =0, we need to findII0 since the intensity at an angle is the maximum (To). Hence,

II0=sinasinasin2

Noting that a =as we found in Step 3 above. So,

II0=sin(sin)asin2

Substitute the given and note that45.0=4

Remember to convert your calculator to RAD mode.

II0=sinsin4asin42II0=0.128

Two satellites at an altitude of 1200 km are separated by 28 km. If they broadcast 3.6-cm microwaves, what minimum receiving-dish diameter is needed to resolve (by Rayleigh鈥檚 criterion) the two transmissions?

You can鈥檛 see clearly underwater with the naked eye, but you can if you wear a face mask or goggles (with air between your eyes and the mask or goggles). Why is there a difference? Could you instead wear eyeglasses (with water between your eyes and the eyeglasses) in order to see underwater? If so, should the lenses be converging or diverging? Explain.

People with normal vision cannot focus their eyes underwater if they aren鈥檛 wearing a face mask or goggles and there is water in contact with their eyes (see Discussion Question Q34.23). (a) Why not? (b) With the simplified model of the eye described in Exercise 34.50, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (Be careful鈥攖he focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! See Problem 34.92. Assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. Assume that the eyeglasses are 2.00cm in front of the eye.)

The laws of optics also apply to electromagnetic waves invisible to the eye. A satellite TV dish is used to detect radio waves coming from orbiting satellites. Why is a curved reflecting surface (a 鈥渄ish鈥) used? The dish is always concave, never convex; why? The actual radio receiver is placed on an arm and suspended in front of the dish. How far in front of the dish should it be placed?

Contact Lenses. Contact lenses are placed right on the eyeball, so the distance from the eye to an object (or image) is the same as the distance from the lens to that object (or image). A certain person can see distant objects well, but his near point is 45.0 cm from his eyes instead of the usual 25.0 cm . (a) Is this person nearsighted or farsighted? (b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct his vision? (c) If the correcting lenses will be contact lenses, what focal length lens is needed and what is its power in diopters?
