GO In Fig. 35-40, two isotropic point sources of light (S1 and S2) are separated by distance 2.70 μm along a y axis and emit in phase at wavelength 900 nm and at the same amplitude. A light detector is located at point P at coordinate xp on the x axis. What is the greatest value of xp at which the detected light is minimum due to destructive interference?

QUESTION If the grazing angle is smaller, the distance between planes in the crystal lattice is: larger. O the same. O smaller. PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. If the spacing between certain planes in a crystal of calcite (CaCO,) is 0.313 nm, find the grazing angles at which first- and third-order interference will occur for x-rays of wavelength 0.0661 nm. 0, = 6.06 82 =| 18.47 EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!

A light detector is located at point Pat coordinate xp on the x axis. What is the greatest value of xp at which the detected light is minimum due to destructive interference? Number Unitsarrow_forwardAssuming that Eq. 37-36 holds, find how fast you would have to go through a red light to have it appear green. Take 620 nm as the wavelength of red light and 540 nm as the wavelength of green light.arrow_forward53 SSM www ILW In Fig. 33-53, a ray is incident on one face of a triangular glass prism in air. The angle of incidence e is chosen so that the emerging ray also makes the same angle e with the nor- mal to the other face. Show that the index of refraction n of the glass prism is given by sin ( + 6) sin o where o is the vertex angle of the prism and is the deviation angle, the total angle through which the beam is turned in passing through the prism. (Under these conditions the deviation angle u has the smallest possible value, which is called the angle of mini- mum deviation.) Figure 33-53 Problems 53 and 64.arrow_forward
