Concept explainers

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 35, Problem 26P

In a doublc-slit experiment, the fourth-order maximum for a wavelength of 450 nm occurs at an angle of θ = 90°. (a) What range of wavelengths in the visible range (400 nm to 700 nm) art not present in the third-ordur maxima? To eliminate all visible light in the fourth-order maximum, (b) should the slit separation he increased or decreased and (c) what least change is needed?

PLSS ANSWER WITHIN 10MINS Visible light of wavelength 591 nm falls on a single slit and produces its third diffraction minimum at an angle of 45.57 deg relative to the incident direction of the light. (a) What is the width of the slit?

(a) What is meant by the term "coherent sources". In Young's double slit experiment, the amplitude of light from source S, is thrce times the amplitude of S2. Calculate the maximum and minimum intensities of light, and sketch the variation of intensity as a function of its phase difference.

A tungsten–halogen bulb emits a continuous spectrum ofultraviolet, visible, and infrared light in the wavelengthrange 360 nm to 2000 nm. Assume that the light from atungsten–halogen bulb is incident on a diffraction gratingwith slit spacing d and that the first-order brightness maximum for the wavelength of 1200 nm occurs at angle θ Whatother wavelengths within the spectrum of incident light willproduce a brightness maximum at this same angle θ[Opticalfilters are used to deal with this bothersome effect when acontinuous spectrum of light is measured by a spectrometer.]
