Chapter 34, Problem 52GP
A highly reflective mirror can be made for a particular wavelength at normal incidence by using two thin layers of transparent materials of indices of refraction n1 and n2 (1 < n1 < n2) on the surface of the glass (n > n2). What should be the minimum thicknesses d1 and d2 in Fig. 34-29 in terms of the incident wavelength λ, to maximize reflection?

A. First, if the rod was not there, what statement best describes the charge distribution of the ball? 1) Since it is a conductor, all the charges are on the outside of the ball. 2) The ball is neutral, so it has no positive or negative charges anywhere. 3) The positive and negative charges are separated from each other, but we don't know what direction the ball is polarized. 4) The positive and negative charges are evenly distributed everywhere in the ball. B. Now, when the rod is moved close to the ball, what happens to the charges on the ball? 1) There is a separation of charges in the ball; the side closer to the rod becomes positively charged, and the opposite side becomes negatively charged. 2) Negative charge is drawn from the ground (via the string), so the ball acquires a net negative charge. 3)…arrow_forwardanswer question 5-9arrow_forward
