In the diagram shown, waves from the bottom left reach the barrier between one medium and another. The light gray vertical line in the diagram marks the border between the two mediums. Which statement best describes what happened to the waves? O The waves reflected off of the barrier, and the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. O The wave is moving faster in the medium on the left than it is in the medium on the right, which caused the waves to get shorter and turn. O The wave interfered with the new medium, which caused the waves to get shorter and turn. O The gravitational field in the material on the right is stronger than on the left, which pulled the waves in that direction.

Two sources of electromagnetic waves (light waves) are emitting coherent waves at a frequency of 546 THz. These two sources are located a distance d apart and aimed at point A, as shown below. If the top source is located a distance 3.8 meters away from point A, find the minimum distance d that will give destructive interreference. Enter your answer in millimeters. 4₁1 Laser Laser d A
Which of the following statements are (or could be) true? Choose all that apply. O A glass at a temperature of 43 K will emit EM waves. O The index of refraction of a newly discovered transparent material is 1.6. In a vacuum, radio waves move the same speed as microwaves. O Total internal reflection will occur if the critical angle is greater than the incident angle. A light ray was reflected. The incident angle was 44° and the reflected angle was 60°. O If do = 0, then d; = f.

A soap bubble shows strong colors due to interference of the light that reflects from the inner and outer boundaries of the thin soap and water film. Light striking the outer surface has a phase change on reflection of . That means that its phase is flipped when it goes from air to the water surface and back out. Light reflecting from the inner surface, where it is in water then comes to the boundary with air, does not change its phase. Suppose you see white light reflecting from a bubble as it increases its size. The film making the bubble gets thinner and thinner and the colors reflecting from it change. The bubble glows in colors that differ with the thickness of the soap film. As it gets even thinner, what will you see at the place in the film that will soon burst? In doubt, try an experiment with soapy water and make your own bubble. Look at the colors of a reflected white light when the bubble thins. Darkness. The light will destructively interfere and the…
If the wavelength of light used in Young's double slit experiment is decreased, which one of the following statements is true of the interference pattern? O The distance between the minima stays the same. The distance between the maxima decreases. The distance between the minima increases. The distance between the maxima stays the same.
Part A (Figure 1) shows a light wave incident on and passing through a thin soap film. Reflections from the front and back surfaces of the film create smaller waves (not shown in the figure) that travel to the left of the film, where they interfere. What is the thickness of the film in terms of the light wavelength inside it? Express your answer as a multiple of wavelength to two significant figures. Πνα ΑΣφ d = Submit Request Answer Part B Figure 1 of 1 Do the reflections from the film surfaces have a phase shift or not? O Reflections from the both surfaces of the film do not have a phase shift. Soap film Reflection from the right surface of the film has a phase shift while reflection f film does not have a phase shift. Reflection from the left surface of the film has a phase shift while reflection fro film does not have a phase shift. Incident wave Reflections from the both surfaces of the film have a phase shift.
