Chapter 5: Q38E (page 1213)

Monochromatic light with wavelength 490 nm passes through a circular aperture, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 1.20 m from the aperture. If the distance on the screen between the first and second dark rings is 1.65 mm, what is the diameter of the aperture?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diameter of the aperture is 0.359mm.

Step by step solution

01

Diffraction from a circular aperture

The difference in the angular radius of the first and second dark rings is

02

Diameter of the aperture

The distance between the first and second dark rings on the screen is a small circular arc, with the distance between the aperture and the screen as the radius.

As a result, the angular radius difference between the first and second dark rings is;

Now solving for D, putting the values;

Hence, the diameter of the aperture is 0.359mm.

Monochromatic light with wavelength 620 nm passes through a circular aperture with diameter 7.4渭m. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 4.5 m from the aperture. What is the diameter of the Airy disk on the screen?

What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with wavelength 480 nm? The index of refraction of the film is 1.33, and there is air on both sides of the film.

The Lens of the Eye: The crystalline lens of the human eye is a double-convex lens made of material having an index of refraction of 1.44 (although this varies). Its focal length in air is about 8.0 mm, which also varies. We shall assume that the radii of curvature of its two surfaces have the same magnitude. (a) Find the radii of curvature of this lens. (b) If an object 16 cm tall is placed 30.0 cm from the eye lens, where would the lens focus it and how tall would the image be? Is this image real or virtual? Is it erect or inverted? (Note: The results obtained here are not strictly accurate because the lens is embedded in fluids having refractive indexes different from that of air.)

Young鈥檚 experiment is performed with light from excited helium atoms (位= 502 nm). Fringes are measured carefully on a screen 1.20 m away from the double slit, and the center of the 20th fringe (not counting the central bright fringe) is found to be 10.6 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. What is the separation of the two slits?

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脳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?
