Answer to Problem 15E

The lens-to-film distance is 0.0508m.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the focal length of the lens.

  1f=1v+1u                                                                                        

Here, f is the focal length of the lens, v is the image distance and u is the object distance.

Rearrange the above expression for the image distance.

  1v=1f1u        (I)

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.05m for f and 3m for u in equation (I).

  1v=1(0.05m)1(3m)=(2013)m=593m

Simplify the above expression for the image distance.

  v=(359)m=0.0508m

Thus, the lens-to-film distance is 0.0508m.

Answer to Problem 15E

The linear magnification of the lens is 0.0169.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the focal length of the lens.

  1f=1v+1u                                                                                        

Here, f is the focal length of the lens, v is the image distance and u is the object distance.

Rearrange the above expression for the image distance.

  1v=1f1u        (I)

Write the expression for the magnification of the lens.

  m=vu        (II)

Here, m is the magnification of the lens.

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.05m for f and 3m for u in equation (I).

  1v=1(0.05m)1(3m)=(2013)m=593m

Simplify the above expression for the image distance.

  v=(359)m=0.0508m

Substitute 0.0508m for v and 3m for u in equation (i).

  m=(0.0508m)(3m)=0.0169

Thus, the linear magnification of the lens is 0.0169.

Answer to Problem 15E

The maximum height of the person is 1.42m.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the focal length of the lens.

  1f=1v+1u                                                                                        

Here, f is the focal length of the lens, v is the image distance and u is the object distance.

Rearrange the above expression for the image distance.

  1v=1f1u        (I)

Write the expression for the magnification of the lens.

  m=vu        (II)

Here, m is the magnification of the lens.

Write the expression for the magnification of the lens.

  m=IO        (III)

Here, I is the image height and O is the object height.

Conclusion:

Substitute 0.05m for f and 3m for u in equation (i).

  1v=10.05m13m=(2013)m=593m

Simplify the above expression for the image distance.

  v=(359)m=0.0508m

Substitute 0.0508m for v and 3m for u in equation (ii).

  m=0.0508m3m=0.0169

Substitute 0.0169 for m and 0.024m for O in equation (iii).

  0.0169=0.024mO

Simplify the above expression for the object height.

  O=0.024m0.0169=1.42m

Thus, the maximum height of the person is 1.42m.

Three slits, each separated from its neighbor by d = 0.06 mm, are illuminated by a coherent light source of wavelength 550 nm. The slits are extremely narrow. A screen is located L = 2.5 m from the slits. The intensity on the centerline is 0.05 W. Consider a location on the screen x = 1.72 cm from the centerline. a) Draw the phasors, according to the phasor model for the addition of harmonic waves, appropriate for this location. b) From the phasor diagram, calculate the intensity of light at this location.
A Jamin interferometer is a device for measuring or for comparing the indices of refraction of gases. A beam of monochromatic light is split into two parts, each of which is directed along the axis of a separate cylindrical tube before being recombined into a single beam that is viewed through a telescope. Suppose we are given the following, • Length of each tube is L = 0.4 m. • λ= 598 nm. Both tubes are initially evacuated, and constructive interference is observed in the center of the field of view. As air is slowly let into one of the tubes, the central field of view changes dark and back to bright a total of 198 times. (a) What is the index of refraction for air? (b) If the fringes can be counted to ±0.25 fringe, where one fringe is equivalent to one complete cycle of intensity variation at the center of the field of view, to what accuracy can the index of refraction of air be determined by this experiment?
