At what minimum angle relative to the centerline perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air and assume that the source and listener are both far enough from the doorway for Fraunhofer diffraction to apply. You can ignore effects of reflections.

The wire intercepts the laser beam, pro- ducing a diffraction pattern like that of a single slit of the same width as the wire diameter (Fig. 36-37). Suppose a helium-neon laser, of wavelength 632.8 nm, illuminates a wire, and the diffrac- tion pattern appears on a screen at distance L = 2.60 m.

Could this be used to make a directionalantenna system that broadcasts preferentially in certain directions? Explain.arrow_forward•1 In Fig. 35-31, a light wave along ray r, reflects once from a mirror and a light wave along ray r, reflects twice from that same mirror and once from a tiny mirror at distance L from the bigger mirror. (Neglect the slight tilt Figure 35-31 Problems 1 and 2. of the rays.) The waves have wave- length 620 nm and are initially in phase. (a) What is the smallest value of L that puts the final light waves exactly out of phase? (b) With the tiny mirror initially at that value of L, how far must it be moved away from the bigger mirror to again put the final waves out of phase?arrow_forwardMY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER Young's double slit experiment is one of the quintessential experiments in physics. The availability of low cost lasers in recent years allows us to perform the double slit experiment rather easily in class. Your professor shines a green laser (562 nm) on a double slit with a separation of 0.111 mm. The diffraction pattern shines on the classroom wall 3.0 m away.

Interference fringes are produced on a screen 3.0 m from the slits. The separation of the fringes is 3.3 mm. a) Calculate the distance between the centres of the two slits. b) State how the separation of the fringes changes if light of a shorter wavelength were used. c) With reference to the term path difference, explain why the bright fringes are observed on the screen.arrow_forwardTwo narrow slits are illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 502 nm.
