Chapter 35, Problem 2P
In Fig. 35-31, a light wave along ray r1 reflects once from a mirror and a light wave along ray r2 reflects twice from that same mirror and once from a tiny mirror at distance L from the bigger mirror. (Neglect the slight tilt of the rays.) The waves have wavelength λ and are initially exactly out of phase. What are the (a) smallest, (b) second smallest, and (c) third smallest values of L/λ that result in the final waves being exactly in phase?

www In Fig. 35-48,
an airtight chamber of length d
5.0 cm is placed in one of the arms
of a Michelson interferometer. (The
glass window on each end of the cham-
ber has negligible thickness.) Light of
wavelength A = 500 nm is used.
Evacuating the air from the chamber
causes a shift of 60 bright fringes. From
these data and to six significant figures,

In the figure, assume two waves of light in air, of wavelength 407 nm, are initially in phase. One travels through a glass layer of index of
refraction n = 1.62 and thickness L. The other travels through an equally thick plastic layer of index of refraction n2 = 1.36. (a) What is
the smallest value L in meters should have if the waves are to end up with a phase difference of 5.26 rad? (b) If the waves arrive at some
common point with thsame amplitude, is their interference fully constructive, fully destructive, intermediate but closer to fully
constructive, or intermediate but closer to fully destructive?

E2 = 15.0 cos(kr – wt + 60°) N/C. What is the phase of the resultant electric field (in degrees)?
(d) Electrons moving at a speed of 30 m/s pass through a single slit of diameter 8.5 x 10-5 m. A
diffraction pattern forms, due to the wave nature of the electrons. At what angle (in degrees) is the
first-order minimum of this pattern located?
(e) A neutron (with mass m, = 939.566 MeV/c²) is confined inside a nucleus of the most common isotop
of iron, Fe. Assume the nucleus is spherical, and that the uncertainty in the position of the neutron is
the diameter, not the radius, of the nucleus. What is the minimum uncertainty in the velocity of the
neutron, in m/s?
