In many transparent materials, dispersion causes different colors (wavelengths) of lightto travel at different speeds. This can cause problems in fiber-optic communicationssystems where pulses of light must travel very long distances in glass. Assuming a fiber ismade of silicate crown glass, calculate the difference in travel times that two short pulsesof light take to travel 15 km in the fiber if the first pulse has a wavelength of 700 nm andthe second pulse has a wavelength of 500 nm.

In 1676, the Danish astronomer Ole Roemer had one of those “aha” moments in science. He concluded from accumulated observations of eclipses of Jupiter’s moon at different times of the year that light must travel at finite speed and needed 1300 s to cross the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Using 300,000,000 1cm for the diameter of Earth’s orbit, calculate the speed of light based on Roemer’s 1300-s estimate. How does it differ from a modern value for the speed of light?
