The intensity of light in the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a single slit is given by Eq. (36.5). Letγ=β/2. (a) Show that the equation for the values of role="math" localid="1668221820264" γat which I is a maximum is tan γ=γ. (b) Determine the two smallest positive values of γthat are solutions of this equation. (Hint: You can use a trial-and-error procedure. Guess a value of γand adjust your guess to bring tan γcloser toγ. A graphical solution of the equation is very helpful in locating the solutions approximately, to get good initial guesses.) (c) What are the positive values of γfor the first, second, and third minima on one side of the central maximum? Are the γvalues in part (b) precisely halfway between the γvalues for adjacent minima? (d) If a = 12λ, what are the anglesθ(in degrees) that locate the first minimum, the first maximum beyond the central maximum, and the second minimum?

Short Answer

(a) Equation can be solved by derivation

(b) Two smallest positive values ofγ is 4.4934rad and 7.7253rad

(c) The values are π,2π,3πand they do not.

(d) the angles (in degrees) that locate the first minimum, the first maximum beyond the central maximum, and the second minimum are 4.8°,6.8°,9.6°

Step by step solution

01

Intensity

The intensity I on the screen is;

I(γ)=I0sinγγ2

Here, γ=β/2

βis the phase difference between two waves received from the slit's two endpoints, and l0is the intensity in a straight-ahead direction.

02

The equation for the values of γ at which I is a maximum is tan γ=γ 

(a) As lγhaving a local extremum

dldγγ0=0

Now the derivative of I with respect to γ

dldγ=2I0sinγγ⋅γcosγ−sinγγ2=2I0sinγ(γcosγ−sinγ)γ3

As a result, the following equations for the local extremum are obtained:

  1. sinγ=0
  2. γcosγ-sinγ=0

Therefore;

sinβ2=0β2=πλasinθ=mπ

These angles correspond to destructive interference points, i.e., minima for which I=0. As a result, the maxima will follow the second equation;

tanγ=γ

03

Two smallest values of 

(b) Function fγ=tanγ

fγ0=γ0is a point called a fixed point of the function f.

Now approximating the solution, at a point γ1and is in the vicinity of γ0

So, the sequence γnis;

γ2=fγ1...γn=fγn-1

As (f) is continuous as γ1is close to γ0

limn→∞ γn=γ0f′γ0<1

So, the sequence is;

γ2=4.463γ3=4.492γ4=4.493...γ1=limn→∞ γn=4.4934

The positive values of γ for the first, second, and third minima on one side of the central maximum

(b) The first equation sin sinγ=0corresponds to I minima, and the first three positive solutions are;

Ï€,2Ï€,3Ï€

And the midpoints of the three points are;

3Ï€2=4.712≠γ15Ï€2=7.854≠γ′â¶Ä²

(d) As from the equations;

γ=β2=πaλsinθ=12πsinθAsγ>0θarcsinγ12π

As;

The first minimum γ=π

The first maximum beyond central maximum γ=4.4934

The second minimum γ=2π

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?

The two sourcesS1andS2shown in Fig. 35.3 emit waves of the same wavelength λand are in phase with each other. Suppose S1is a weaker source, so that the waves emitted by S1have half the amplitude of the waves emitted by S2. How would this affect the positions of the antipodallines and nodal lines? Would there be total reinforcement at points on the antipodal curves? Would there be total cancellation at points on the nodal curves? Explain your answers.

A lens forms an image of an object. The object is 16.0 cm from the lens. The image is 12.0 cm from the lens on the same side as the object.

(a) What is the focal length of the lens? Is the lens converging or diverging?

(b) If the object is 8.50 mm tall, how tall is the image? Is it erect or inverted?

(c) Draw a principal-ray diagram.

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction of 1.60, is ground and polished to a convex hemispherical surface with a radius of 4.00 cm. An object in the form of an arrow 1.50 mm tall, at right angles to the axis of the rod, is located on the axis 24.0 cm to the left of the vertex of the convex surface. Find the position and height of the image of the
arrow formed by paraxial rays incident on the convex surface. Is the image erect or inverted?

A lensmaker wants to make a magnifying glass from glass that has an index of refraction n = 1.55 and a focal length of 20.0 cm. If the two surfaces of the lens are to have equal radii, what should that radius be?
