Chapter 32, Problem 32.39P
CP Two square reflectors, each 1.50 cm on a side and of mass 4.00 g, are located at opposite ends of a thin, extremely light, 1.00-m rod that can rotate without friction and in vacuum about an axle perpendicular to it through its center (Fig. P32.39).
These reflectors are small enough to be treated as point masses in moment-of-inertia calculations. Both reflectors are illuminated on one face by a sinusoidal light wave having an electric field of amplitude 1.25 N/C that falls uniformly on both surfaces and always strikes them perpendicular to the plane of their surfaces. One reflector is covered with a perfectly absorbing coating, and the other is covered with a perfectly reflecting coating. What is the

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through a slot at the
outside edge of the wheel, as in the figure, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot
in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 3.5 cm and 150 slots at its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror is L= 250 m
from the wheel indicate a speed of light of 3.0 x 105 km/s. (a) What is the (constant) angular speed of the wheel? (b) What is the linear
speed of a point on the edge of the wheel?

In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Armand H. L. Fizeau (as shown), the distance between light source and mirror was 11.45 km and the wheel had 720 notches. The experimentally determined value of c was 2.998 × 108 m/s when the outgoing light passed through one notch and then returned through the next notch. Calculate the minimum angular speed of the wheel for this experiment.

They are based on an interferometer conceived in 1913 by the French physicist Georges Sagnac. In a Sagnac interferometer, a beam of light is split and the two beams are made to follow the same path but in opposite directions. On return to the point of entry the two light beams are allowed to exit the fiber loop (see Figure and undergo interference. If the loop rotates clockwise, the clockwise optical path becomes longer than the counterclockwise optical path (see Figure 2). The phase difference (interference) is proportional to the rotation rate (angular velocity).
