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

Does it make sense to talk about the polarization of a longitudinal wave, such as a sound wave? Why or why not?

A Spherical Fish Bowl. A small tropical fish is at the centre of a water-filled, spherical fish bowl 28.0 cm in diameter.
(a) Find the apparent position and magnification of the fish to an observer outside the bowl. The effect of the thin walls of the bowl may be ignored. (b) A friend advised the owner of the bowl to keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid blinding the fish, which might swim into the focal point of the parallel rays from the sun. Is the focal point actually within the bowl?

Some loudspeaker horns for outdoor concerts (at which the entire audience is seated on the ground) are wider vertically than horizontally. Use diffraction ideas to explain why this is more efficient at spreading the sound uniformly over the audience than either a square speaker horn or a horn that is wider horizontally than vertically. Would this still be the case if the audience were seated at different elevations, as in an amphitheater? Why or why not?
