In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will p…

Predictf/Calculate Referring to Example 28-11 The width of the slit in this experiment is 2.20 × 10⁻⁶m. (a) If the frequency of the light is decreased, will the angle to the first dark fringe above the central bright fringe increase or decrease? Explain (b) Find the angle to the first dark fringe if the reduced frequency is 5.22 × 10¹⁴ Hz.

I Review I Constants An astronomer who is studying the light from a galaxy has identified the spectrum of hydrogen but finds that the wavelengths are somewhat shifted from those found in the laboratory. In the lab, the H., line in the hydrogen spectrum has a wavelength of 656.3 nm. The astronomer is using a transmission diffraction grating having 5608 lines/cm in the first order and finds that the first bright fringe for the H, line occurs at + 23.41" from the central spot. How fast is the galaxy moving? Express your answer In m/a and as a percentage of the speed of light. Is the galaxy • Part C Find the wavelength of the Ha spectral line in the received light.

6 Figure 35-24a gives intensity I versus position x on the viewing screen for the central portion of a two-slit interference pattern. The other parts of the figure give phasor diagrams for the electric field components of the waves arriving at the screen from the two slits (as in Fig. 35-13a). Which numbered points on the screen best correspond to which phasor diagram? - Central fringe キャと 1 2 3 (a) (6) (c) (d) 4.

10 Figure 35-27a shows the cross section of a vertical thin film whose width increases downward because gravitation causes slumping. Figure e 35-27b is a face-on view of the film, a showing four bright (red) interfer- ence fringes that result when the (a) film is illuminated with a perpendi- cular beam of red light. Points in the cross section corresponding to the bright fringes are labeled. In terms of the wavelength of the light inside the film, what is the difference in film thickness between (a) points a and b and (b) points b and d? (6) Figure 35-27 Question 10.
