Chapter 35, Problem 85GP
A slit of width D = 22 µm is cut through a thin aluminum plate. Light with wavelength λ = 650 nm passes through this slit and forms a single-slit diffraction pattern on a screen a distance ℓ = 2.0 m away. Defining x to be the distance between the first minima (m = +1 and m = ‒1) in this diffraction pattern, find the change Δx in this distance when the temperature T of the metal plate is changed by amount ΔT = 55C°. [Hint: Since λ ≪ D, the first minima occur at a small angle.]

- When an x-ray beam is scattered off the planes of a crystal, the scattered beam creates an interference pattern. This phenomenon is called Bragg scattering. For an observer to measure an interference maximum, two conditions have to be satisfied: 1. The angle of incidence has to be equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The difference in the beam's path from a source to an observer for neighboring planes has to be equal to an integer multiple of the wavelength; that is, 2d sin(0) = mx for m = 1, 2, .... The path difference 2d sin(0) can be determined from the diagram (Figure 1). The second condition is known as the Bragg condition.

- Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, thin object, such as a strand of hair. In that case, a is the width of the strand. From actual lab measurements on a human hair, it was found that when a beam of light of wavelength 632.8nm was shone on a single strand of hair, and the diffracted light was viewed on a screen 1.25m away, the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright spot were 5.22cm apart. How thick was this strand of hair?arrow_forwardIn an interference arrangement similar to Young's double-slit experiment, the slits S₁ and S₂ are illuminated with coherent microwave sources, each of frequency 106 Hz. The sources are synchronized to have zero phase difference. The slits are separated by a distance d = 150.0m.

If the sun emits light with a peak wavelength of 500 nm. What is the temperature of the sun? Two slits, 0.5 mm apart, are placed at a distance of 1.5 meters from a screen. Light of 300 nm illuminates the two slits and an interference pattern is observed on the screen.

The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 4.5 m from the aperture. What is the diameter of the Airy disk on the screen?arrow_forwardDiffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.arrow_forward
