Textbook Question

Chapter 36, Problem 16P

Babinet’s principle. A monochromatic beam of parallel light is incident on a “collimating” hole of diameter x ≫ λ. Point P lies in the geometrical shadow region on a distant screen (Fig. 36-39a). Two diffracting objects, shown in Fig. 36-39b, are placed in turn over the collimating hole. Object A is an opaque circle with a hole in it, and B is the “photographic negative” of A. Using superposition concepts, show that the intensity at P is identical for the two diffracting objects A and B.

10. A light ray of given wavelength, initially in air, strikes a 90° prism at P (see Fig. 39-53) and is refracted there and at Q to such an extent that it just grazes the right-hand prism surface at Q. (a) Determine the index of retraction of the prism for this wavelength in terms of the angle of incidence , that gives rise to this situation. (b) Give a numerical upper bound for the index of refraction of the prism. Show, by ray dia- grams, what happens if the angle of incidence at P is (c) slightly greater or (d) slightly less than 0₁. 90 FIGURE 39-53. Problem 10.

109 In Fig. 34-54, a fish watcher at point P watches a fish through a glass wall of a fish tank. The watcher is level with the fish; the index of re- fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher of the water is 4/3. The distances are di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz = 6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away does the watcher appear to be? (Hint: The watcher is the object. Light from that object passes through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur- face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im- age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur- face, which acts as another refracting surface.) (b) To the watcher, how far away does the fish appear to be? de D Wall Figure 34-54 Problem 109.
