Chapter 5: Q14E (page 1181)

Coherent light that contains two wavelengths, 660nm (red) and 470nm (blue), passes through two narrow slits that are separated by 0.300mm. Their interference pattern is observed on a screen 4.00m from the slits. What is the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for the two wavelengths?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for the two wavelengths is 2.53mm.

Step by step solution

01

Formula for the distance of the bright fringe

y=m位Rd

02

Determining the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for the two wavelengths

Given: 位red=660nm=660*10-9m

位blue=470nm=470*10-9md=0.300mm=0.300*10-3mR=4.0mm=1

Assume that the angles of both lights are small, so the distance can be given as:

y=m位Rd

The distance between them can be given as:

鈭�y=yred-yblue

Plug the first formula into the last one,

鈭�y=m位redRd-m位blueRd鈭�y=mRd(位red-位blue)

Plug the given,

鈭�y=1.0*4.00.300*10-3(660*10-9-470*10-9)=2.53*10-3m=2.53mm

Thus, the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for the two wavelengths is 2.53mm.

What is the thinnest film of a coating with \(n = 1.42\) on glass \((n = 1.52)\) for which destructive interference of the red component \((650nm)\) of an incident white light beam in air can take place by reflection?

Question: Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High-frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength 9.00 cm passes through a slit 12.0 cm wide. A microphone is placed 8.00 m directly in front of the center of the slit. The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point O. At what distances from O will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero?

(a) Where is the near point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of +2.75 diopters is prescribed? (b) Where is the far point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of -1.30 diopters is prescribed for distant vision?

Light of wavelength 位and frequency v passes through a single slit of width a. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen a distance x from the slit. Which of the following will decrease the width of the central maximum? (a) Decrease the slit width; (b) decrease the frequency v of the light; (c) decrease the wavelength 位of the light; (d) decrease the distance of the screen from the slit. In each case justify your answer.

The eyes of amphibians such as frogs have a much flatter cornea but a more strongly curved (almost spherical) lens than do the eyes of air-dwelling mammals. In mammalian eyes, the shape (and therefore the focal length) of the lens changes to enable the eye to focus at different distances. In amphibian eyes, the shape of the lens doesn鈥檛 change. Amphibians focus on objects at different distances by using specialized muscles to move the lens closer to or farther from the retina, like the focusing mechanism of a camera. In air, most frogs are near-sighted; correcting the distance vision of a typical frog in air would require contact lenses with a power of about -6.0 D .A frog can see an insect clearly at a distance of 10cm. At that point the effective distance from the lens to the retina is 8 mm. If the insect moves farther from the frog, by how much and in which direction does the lens of the frog鈥檚 eye have to move to keep the insect in focus? (a) 0.02 cm toward the retina; (b)0.02 cm, away from the retina; (c)0.06 cm, toward the retina; (d)0.06 cm, away from the retina.
