Monochromatic light of wavelength 592 nm from a distant source passes through a slit that is 0.0290 mm wide. In the resulting diffraction pattern, the intensity at the center of the central maximum= 0° is 4.00 * 10-5 W/m^2 . What is the intensity at a point on the screen that corresponds to= 1.20°?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The intensity at a point on the screen that corresponds to θ= 1.20° is I=2.54×10-8W/m2.

Step by step solution

01

Intensity of light

We are given

λ=592nm=592×10-9ma=0.0290mm=0.0290×10-3mI0=4.0×10-5W/m2θ=1.20°=π150rad

We know that the intensity is given by

I=I0sinβ2β2β=2πasinθλ

Substitute the intensity formula above

I=I0sinπasinθλπasinθλ2I=4.0×10-5×sinπ×0.029×10-3sinπ150529×10-9π×0.029×10-3sinπ150529×10-92

02

Conclusion

After converting angles into rad mode.

I=2.54×10-8W/m2

Most popular questions from this chapter

An object 0.6 cm tall is placed 16.5 cm to the left of the vertex of a concave spherical mirror having a radius of curvature of 22 cm. (a) Draw a principal-ray diagram showing the formation of the image. (b) Determine the position, size, orientation, and nature (real or virtual) of the image.

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’t 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’s 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.

An underwater camera has a lens with focal length in air of 35.0 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.80. The film it uses has an emulsion that is sensitive to light of frequency6.00×1014Hz.If the photographer takes a picture of an object 2.75 m in front of the camera with the lens wide open, what is the width of the smallest resolvable detail on the subject if the object is (a) a fish underwater with the camera in the water and (b) a person on the beach with the camera out of the water?

34.16 A tank whose bottom is a mirror is filled with water to a depth of 20.0cm. A small fish floats motionless 7.0cm under the surface of the water. (a) What is the apparent depth of the fish when viewed at normal incidence? (b) What is the apparent depth of the image of the fish when viewed at normal incidence?

A convex spherical mirror with a focal length of magnitude 24.0 cm is placed 20.0 cm to the left of a plane mirror. An object 0.250 cm tall is placed midway between the surface of the plane mirror and the vertex of the spherical mirror. The spherical mirror forms multiple images of the object. Where are the two images of the object formed by the spherical mirror that are closest to the spherical mirror, and how tall is each image?
