What's the longest wavelength of light you could use to resolve
a structure with angular diameter 0.44 mrad, using a microscope
with a 1.2-mm-diameter objective lens?
A telescope can be used to enlarge the diameter of a laser beam and limit diffraction spreading. The laser beam is sent through the eyepiece and out the objective, and can then be projected onto a satellite or the Moon.
a. If this is done with the Mount Wilson telescope, producing a 2.1 m diameter beam of 690 nm light, what is the minimum angular spread, in radians, of the beam?
b. Neglecting atmospheric effects, what is the diameter of the spot this beam would make on the Moon, assuming a lunar distance of 3.84×108 m?

- A camera uses a lens with aperture 2.0 cm. What is the angular resolution of a photograph taken at 700 nm wavelength? Can it resolve the millimeter markings of a ruler placed 35 m away?arrow_forwardOptical flats are flat pieces of glass used to determine the flatness of other optical components. They are placed at an angle above the component as shown in Figure P36.49A, and monochromatic light is incident and observed from above, leading to interference fringes. Figure P36.49C shows the results of one of these tests. What is the approximate difference in the gap thickness between the left and right sides of the optical flat and the component? Is it possible to determine from this figure alone which side has the greater gap thickness (left or right)?

- A 5.08-cm-long rectangular glass chamber is inserted into one arm of a Michelson interferometer using a 633-nm light source. This chamber is initially filled with air (n=1.000293) at standard atmospheric pressure but the air is gradually pumped out using a vacuum pump until a near perfect vacuum is achieved. How many fringes are observed moving by during the transition?arrow_forwardIn a thermally stabilized lab, a Michelson interferometer is used to monitor the temperature to ensure it stays constant. The movable mirror is mounted on the end of a 1.00-m-long aluminum rod, held fixed at the other end. The light source is a He Ne laser, =632.8 nm . The resolution of this apparatus corresponds to the temperature difference when a change of just one fringe is observed. What is this temperature difference?arrow_forwardSuppose you have a lens system that is to be used primarily for 700-nm red light.

In your calculations use 550 nm for the wavelength of the light.arrow_forwardFigure CQ27.4 shows an unbroken soap film in a circular frame. The film thickness increases from top to bottom, slowly at first and then rapidly. As a simpler model, consider a soap film (n = 1.33) contained within a rectangular wire frame. The frame is held vertically so that the film drains downward and forms a wedge with flat faces. The thickness of the film at the top is essentially zero. The film is viewed in reflected white light with near-normal incidence, and the first violet ( = 420 nm) interference band is observed 3.00 cm from the top edge of the film. (a) Locate the first red ( = 680 nm) interference band. (b) Determine the film thickness at the positions of the violet and red bands. (c) What is the wedge angle of the film?arrow_forward
