Red laser light with wavelength 630 nm illuminates a single thin slit which makes a pattern on a wall 2 meters away. How wide is the slit if the second dark fringe to the left of the center of the pattern is 10 cm from the center? 0.25 mm 0.025 mm 0.5 mm 0.05 mm
The Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas by placing an evacuated transparent tube in the light path along one arm of the device. Fringe shifts occur as the gas is slowly added to the tube. Assume 580-nm light is used, the tube is 5.40 cm long, and 152 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. What is the index of refraction of the gas? Hint: The fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas-filled tube. (Give your answer to five decimal places.) 4.0
In experiments with his interferometer, Michelson found that the red cadmium line at λ=643.8nm produced fringes until one of the arms of the interferometer was moved 25cm from initially being at the coincidence or equal path length position. a. How many fringes moved through the field of view? b. What is the approximate coherence time of the light?
Two waves of light in air, of wavelength 600.0 nm, are initially in phase. They then travel through plastic layers as shown in the figure below, with L1 = 4.44 µm, L2 = 3.97 µm, n1 = 1.45, and n2 = 1.62. What multiple of A gives their phase difference after they have both emerged from the layers? Give absolute value. L1 Number i 0.906 Units This answer has no units
A laser beam is incident on two slits with separation d = 0.026 mm. A screen is placed L = 2.2 m from the slits. The wavelength of the laser light is λ = 3250 Å. θ1 and θ2 are the angles to the first and second bright fringes above the center of the screen. a) Express the distance between the two bright fringes on the screen, y, in terms of θ1 , θ2, and L . b) Solve for the numerical value of y in meters.
In a Young's double-slit experiment, the seventh dark fringe is located 0.033 m to the side of the central bright fringe on a flat screen, which is 1.1 m away from the slits. The separation between the slits is 1.5 x 104 m. What is the wavelength of the light being used? Seventh dark fringe Number i Double slit Units 0 Central bright fringe Seventh dark fringe Screen
Which one of the following statements best explains why interference patterns are not usually observed for light from two ordinary light bulbs? Question 23 options: Diffraction effects predominate. The two sources are out of phase. The two sources are not coherent. The interference pattern is too small to observe. Light from ordinary light bulbs is not polarized.
An EM wave with wavelength 6.50E-7 m passes through a thin slit and form a diffraction pattern on a screen 3.67 m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the first dark fringe is measured to be 4.20-3 m. What is the slit width (in meter)?
In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.8 mm and the slits are 0.83 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 430 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 550 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 4 bright fringes of the two interference patterns? Number Units the tolerance is +/-5%
A beam of yellow light is made to pass through two slits that are 3.0 x 10−3 meters apart. On a screen 2.0 meters away from the slits, an interference pattern appears with bands of light separated by 3.9 x 10−4 meters. What is the wavelength of the light? 3.6 x 10−8 m 5.9 x 10−7 m 6.5 x 10−7 m 3.9 x 10−6 m
1. a. If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be a phase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? How can you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in either beam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials. b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses (hint: it's thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nm is used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and 35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.
