Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

9. Two light waves are initially in-phase and have the same wavelength of 638 nm in air. They enter and then exit two equal length (L) parallel layers of glass with n₁ = 1.67 (layer 1) and n₂ = 1.61 (layer 2) as shown below. When the two waves exit the glass into the air, they have a phase difference of 3π/2 radians between them. Find the minimum length L for which this can occur. layer 1 layer 2 → L
Problem 1: You want to test a special watertight monochromatic light source in an un- derwater environment. If the light source shines its beam of electromagnetic radiation into your eyes when you and the light source are above the water, with both your eyes and the light source immersed in air, the beam appears to your eyes to have a deep violet color. The index of refraction of water is about 1.33 What color, if any, would your eyes perceive the beam to have when you and the light source are submerged in water – and why? (A) No color. The beam would become invisible under water because its wavelength in water is shorter than in air, corresponding to a wavelength of ultra-violet light. The beam's wavelength in the water determines its visibility to the eye under water, and ultra-violet light is not visible to the human eye. (B) Same color as in air, above the water, i.e., deep violet. Under water, the beam would have the same wavelength as in air. The beam's wavelength in the water…
