Chapter 5: Q27E (page 1213)

Question:Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits / cm, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen that is2.50 mfrom the grating. (a) Is the angular position of the first-order spectrum small enough forsin胃鈮�胃to be a good approximation? (b) In the first-order spectrum, the maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 3.00 mm. What is the difference in these wavelengths?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Yes, the angular position of the first-order spectrum small enough.
  2. The difference in these wavelengths is 13.3 mm

Step by step solution

01

Determine if the angular position of the first-order spectrum is small enough

The angular position is given by

The first-order spectrum is for m = 1

So, the first-order angular position in radians is

Therefore, the angular position of the first-order spectrum is small enough for 胃鈮�胃to be a good approximation.

02

Determine the difference between the two wavelengths

The position of the bright fringes on the screen

So, the position of the first-order spectrum of the first and second wavelengths are

Now, we know that both the bright fringes for m = 1, thus subtract the positions of fringes

Substitute the values

Thus, the difference between the two wavelengths is 13.3 mm.

You use a lens of diameter and light of wavelength and frequency to form an image of two closely spaced and distant objects. Which of the following will increase the resolving power? (a) Use a lens with a smaller diameter; (b) use light of higher frequency; (c) use light of longer wavelength. In each case justify your answer.

A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision. (a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted? (b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct her vision? (c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?

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?

Devise straightforward experiments to measure the speed of light in a given glass using (a) Snell鈥檚 law; (b) total internal reflection; (c) Brewster鈥檚 law

After a laser beam passes through two thin parallel slits, the first completely dark fringes occur at卤19.0掳 with theoriginal direction of the beam, as viewed on a screen far from the slits. (a) What is the ratio of the distance between the slits to the wavelength of the light illuminating the slits? (b) What is the smallest angle, relative to the original direction of the laser beam, at which the intensity of the light is 1/10 the maximum intensity on the screen?
