Answer to Problem 107QAP

1st ring occurs at θ1=3.05×104rad=0.0175o

2nd ring occurs at θ2=5.58×104rad=0.0319o

3rd ring occurs as θ1=8.10×104rad=0.0464o

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Diameter of pupil = dpupil=2mm=2×103m

Wavelength of light = λ=500nm=5×107m

Formula used:

Angle of resolution is defined as,

  θ=mλd(in radian)for first order, m = 1.22for second order, m = 2.233for the third order ,  m = 3.238

Calculation:

From above formula,

  θ=1.22λdfor first order,θ1=1.22( 5× 10 7 m 2× 10 3 )=3.05× 10 4rad_=3.05×104rad( 180 o π)= 0.175o_for second order, m = 2.233, then, θ2=2.233( 5× 10 7 m 2× 10 3 )=5.58× 10 4rad_=5.58×104rad( 180 o π)= 0.0319o_for third order, m = 3.238,θ3=3.238( 5× 10 7 m 2× 10 3 )=8.10× 10 4rad_=8.10×104rad( 180 o π)= 0.0464o_

Conclusion:

Thus, from above discussion, we find the angle of resolution for three consecutive dark rings as,

1st ring occurs at θ1=3.05×104rad=0.0175o

2nd ring occurs at θ2=5.58×104rad=0.0319o

3rd ring occurs as θ1=8.10×104rad=0.0464o

Answer to Problem 107QAP

The radius of consecutive three rings are found as,

For 1st ring, x1=7.6×103mm

For 2nd ring, x2=1.4×102mm

For 3rd ring, x3=2.0×102mm

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Angle of resolution for consecutive three dark rings is as,

1st ring occurs at θ1=3.05×104rad=0.0175o

2nd ring occurs at θ2=5.58×104rad=0.0319o

3rd ring occurs as θ1=8.10×104rad=0.0464o

Distance from retina to eye lens = D=25mm

Formula used:

  x=θDHere,θ is in radian.

Calculation:

  For first ring, x1=θ1D=3.05×104rad×25mm=7.6×103mmfor second rings,x2=θ2D=5.58×104rad×25mm=1.4×102mmfor third rings,x1=θ3D=8.10×104rad×25mm=2.0×102mm

Conclusion:

Thus, we have found the distance of dark rings from the central bright spot.

(c)

The explanation about the diffraction of light in our eye

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 107QAP

We cannot observe dark and bright rings because angle of resolution is very small to distinguish the consecutive dark and bright rings for human.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Angle of resolution is inversely proportional to the diameter of aperture of the opening and directly proportional to the wavelength of light. As the diameter of opening increases, angle of resolution will decrease.

From above discussion, we see that the angle of resolution is very small. So, locations of the dark and bright fringes are very close to each other. Human eye is not capable to distinguish these thin rings. They feel it as the continuous light.

Conclusion:

Thus, we do not observe such diffraction of light because of very closeness of the consecutive rings to each other.

= = You are preparing your house for a party with your classmates and friends, and want to set up an impressive light display to entertain them. From your study of fluids, you have come up with the idea based on the water flowing from the tank in the figure. You set up the tank as shown in the figure, filled to a depth h 1.15 m, and sitting on a stand of height { 0.300 m. You punch a hole in the tank at a height of Y1 = 0.102 m above the stand. (Ignore the thickness of the tank in your calculation.) You want to punch a second hole higher on the tank so that the streams of water from the two holes arrive at the same position on the table, in a catch basin at a distance d from the right edge of the stand. A pump will continuously carry water from the catch basin back up to the top of the tank to keep the water level fixed. Then, you will use laser pointers on the left side of the tank to light the two streams of water, which will capture the light (see the section on total internal…
A square metal sheet 2.5 cm on a side and of negligible thickness is attached to a balance and inserted into a container of fluid. The contact angle is found to be zero, as shown in Figure a, and the balance to which the metal sheet is attached reads 0.42 N. A thin veneer of oil is then spread over the sheet, and the contact angle becomes 180°, as shown in Figure b. The balance now reads 0.41 N. What is the surface tension of the fluid? N/m a
Sucrose is allowed to diffuse along a 12.0-cm length of tubing filled with water. The tube is 6.1 cm² in cross-sectional area.
