Textbook Question

Chapter 35, Problem 32P

GO In the double-slit experiment of Fig. 35-10. ihe electric fields of the waves arriving at point P are given by

E₁ = (2.00 μV/m) sin[(1.26 X 10¹⁵)t]

E₂ = (2.00 μV/m) sin[(1.26 X 10¹⁵)t + 39, 6 rad],

where time t is in seconds, (a) What is the amplitude of the resultant electric field at point P? (b) What is the ratio of the intensity I_P at point P to the intensity I_cen at the center of the interference pattern? (c) Describe where point P is in the interference pattern by giving the maximum or minimum on which it lies, or the maximum and minimum between which it lies. In a phasor diagram of the electric fields, (d) at what rate would the phasors rotate around the origin and (e) what is the angle between the phasors?

Sources A and B emit long-range radio waves of wavelength 380 m, with the phase of the emission from A ahead of that from source B by 90°. The distance rA from A to a detector is greater than the corresponding distance rB from B by 140 m. What is the magnitude of the phase difference at the detector?

Assuming 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.

Y(x, t) = y(x)e-it = (Aeikx + Be-ikx) e-iant = Aei(kx-ot) + Be-i(kx+at), (38-25) 13 In Eq. 38-25 keep both terms, putting A = B = yo. The equa- tion then describes the superposition of two matter waves of equal amplitude, traveling in opposite directions. (Recall that this is the condition for a standing wave.) (a) Show that P(x, t)2 is then given by (x, t)² = 2y[1 + cos 2kx]. (b) Plot this function, and demonstrate that it describes the square of the amplitude of a standing matter wave. (c) Show that the nodes of this standing wave are located at where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 1) (1/₁). x = (2n + 1) and is the de Broglie wavelength of the particle. (d) Write a simi- lar expression for the most probable locations of the particle.
