Information is stored on an audio compact disc, CD-ROM, or DVD disc in a series of pits on the disc. These pits are scanned by a laser beam. An important limitation on the amount of information that can be stored on such a disc is the width of the laser beam. Explain why this should be, and explain how using a shorter wavelength laser allows more information to be stored on a disc of the same size.
If a hologram is made using 600-nm light and then viewed with 500-nm light, how will the images look compare to those observed when viewed with 600-nm light? Explain.
A person looks at his reflection in the concave side of a shiny spoon. Is it right side up or inverted? Does it matter how far his face is from the spoon? What if he looks in the convex side?
