Chapter 33.2, Problem 33.2TYU
You are standing on the shore of a lake. You spot a tasty fish swimming some distance below the lake surface. (a) If you want to spear the fish, should you aim the spear (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish? (b) If instead you use a high-power laser to simultaneously kill and cook the fish, should you aim the laser (i) above, (ii) below, or (iii) directly at the apparent position of the fish?

A spacer is cut from a playing card of thickness 2.82 ✕ 10−4 m and used to separate one end of two rectangular, optically flat, 3.10 cm long glass plates with n = 1.65, as in the figure below. Laser light at 594 nm shines straight down on the top plate.
Two plates lie one on top of the other. They touch each other at the right end, and are separated by a small circle at the left end. Three arrows point vertically downward toward the top plate.
(a) Count the number of phase reversals for the interfering waves.
(b) Calculate the separation (in m) between dark interference bands observed on the top plate.

Structure factor of diamond. The crystal structure of diamond is described in
Chapter 1. The basis consists of eight atoms if the cell is taken as the conventional
cube. (a) Find the structure factor S of this basis. (b) Find the zeros of S and show
that the allowed reflections of the diamond structure satisfy v, + U2+ Uz = 4n,
where all indices are even and n is any integer, or else all indices are odd (Fig. 18).
(Notice that h, k, l may be written for v, v2, Uz and this is often done.)
A ray of light is incident on an air/water interface. The ray makes an angle of θ1 = 38 degrees with respect to the normal of the surface. The index of the air is n1 = 1 while water is n2 = 1.33.
Numerically, what is the reflection angle ψ in degrees?

- Two light sources of identical strength are placed 10m apart. An object is to be placed at a point P on a line l, parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on, so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. a) Find an expression for the intensity l(x) at the point P. b) If d = 5m, use graphs of l(x) and l'(x) to show that the intensity is minimized when x = 5m, that is, when P is at the midpoint of l. c) If d = 10m, show that the intensity (perhaps surprisingly) is not minimized at the midpoint. d) Somewhere between d = 5m and d = 10m there is a transitional value of d at which the point of minimal illumination abruptly changes. Estimate this value of d by graphical methods. Then find the exact value…arrow_forwardA ray of light is incident on an air/water interface.
