The index of refraction of a glass rod is 1.48 at T=20.0掳C and varies linearly with temperature, with a coefficient of 2.50* 10-5/C掳. The coefficient of linear expansion of theglass is 5.00* 10-6/C掳. At 20.0掳C the length of the rod is 3.00 cm. A Michelson interferometer has this glass rod in one arm, and the rod is being heated so that its temperature increases at a rate of 5.00 C掳/min. The light source has wavelength l=589 nm, and the rod initially is at T=20.0掳C. How many fringes cross the field of view each minute?

Short Answer

Expert verified

We see 14fringes per minute.

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts

Constructive interference is at n

and destructive interference is at(2n+1)2.

Where n is an integer.

The index of refraction of the rod varies linearly with temperature,and we are given the linear coefficient of this change

So,

nrod=ni,rodnT

We also know that the length of the rod linearly varies with temperature

So,

Lrod=LirodT

02

Application

Noting that the change in the number of the fringes is caused by the change of the rod length due to heating expansion

N=(2Lrod)/rod

From snell鈥檚 law we have

n11=n22

And here we get

nairair=nrodrod

Solving forand=1

rod=airnrod

Input this in the formula

N=2nrodLrodair

We need the number of fringes each minute so

Nt=2nrodLrodairt

The change in the number of fringes is due to air, is given by, using the same approach

Nairt=2nairLrodairt

The minus sign is due to the decrease of the air due to increase of the length of the rod

Hence the total change is given by

Ntott=Nrodt+Nairirt+Nnrodt

Plugging in the values

Ntott=2nrodLrodairt+2nairLrodairt+2nrodLiairt

Substitute Lrod

Ntott=(nrod-nair)2LirodTairt+2nrodLiairt

Substitute nrod

Ntott=(nrod-nair)2LirodTairt+2ni,rodnLiTairt

Rearrange to get

Ntott=((nrod-nair)2Lirodair+2i,rodnLiair)Tt

Input the values

Ntott=((1.48-1.0)23.010-65.010-658310-9+22.510-63.010-658310-9)5.06.0

Solving we get

Ntott=0.2326fringe/sNtott=14.0fringe/min

Hence, we see 14fringes per minute.

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?

Ordinary Glasses: Ordinary glasses are worn in front of the eye and usually 2.0 cm in front of the eyeball. Suppose that the person in previous exercise prefers ordinary glasses to contact lenses. What focal length lenses are needed to correct his vision, and what is their power in diopters?

A person is lying on a diving board 3.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on the bottom of the pool directly below her. To her, the penny appears to be a distance of 7.00 m from her. What is the depth of the water at this point?

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 .What is the farthest distance at which a typical 鈥渘ear-sighted鈥 frog can see clearly in air? (a) 12 m; (b) 6.0 m; (c) 80 cm (d) 17 cm.

Light of wavelength 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 of the light; (d) decrease the distance of the screen from the slit. In each case justify your answer.
