signals that reflect from the ground. Assume the ground is
level between the transmitter and receiver and a 180° phase
shift occurs upon reflection. Determine the longest wave-

- Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.arrow_forwardA double slit is illuminated simultaneously with light of wavelength 640 nmnm and light of an unknown wavelength.
