Textbook Question

Chapter 36, Problem 23P

SSM The two headlights of an approaching automobile are 1.4 m apart. At what (a) angular separation and (b) maximum distance will the eye resolve them? Assume that the pupil diameter is 5.0 mm, and use a wavelength of 550 nm for the light. Also assume that diffraction effects alone limit the resolution so that Rayleigh’s criterion can be applied.

The two headlights of an approaching automobile are 1.4 m apart. At what (a) angular separation and (b) maximum distance will the eye resolve them? Assume that the pupil diameter is 5.0 mm, and use a wavelength of 550 nm for the light. Also assume that diffraction effects alone limit the resolution so that Rayleigh’s criterion can be applied.

Light of free-space wavelength 20 = 0.75 um is guided by a thin planar film of thickness d=2.5 μm and refractive index ni = 1.65, surrounded by a medium of refractive index n2 =1.45. (a) Determine (i) the critical angle Oc; (ii) the numerical aperture NA; and (iii) the maximum acceptance angle ao for light originating in air (no = 1.00). (b) Determine the number of TE modes possible at this wavelength. Determine (i) the propagation angle a and (ii) the propagation constant ß of the m= 0 TE mode (you will need to find a graphical or numerical approximate solution here). (iii) What is the wavelength of this mode inside the medium, measured along the z axis? (d) (i) Determine the extinction coefficient y for the same m= O mode. (ii) At what distance into the outer medium does the field drop to 1% of its magnitude at the boundary?
