What is the longest wavelength that can be observed in thethird order for a transmission grating having 8200 slits/cm? Assumenormal incidence.
Problem 2. Suppose that a Michelson interferometer is illuminated by a source emitting a doublet of
vacuum wavelengths, 21 and 22. As one mirror is moved, the fringes periodically disappear and then
reappear. If a displacement Ad of the mirror causes a one-cycle variation in fringe visibility, derive an
expression for Ad in terms of Aλ = 2-1. Then calculate Ad for the sodium doublet, where λ₁ =
588.995 nm and 2 = 589.592 nm.
A sheet of glass with index of refraction, nglass= 1.51, is covered by a thin soap film with index of refraction, nfilm = 1.29. When
viewed from directly above (i.e. normal incidence), the soap film strongly reflects red light of wavelength, λred = 690 nm.
Write a symbolic expression for the minimum possible film thickness,
in terms of λred, nfilm, and/or nglass, then calculate its numeric value.

- To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar?

Assumenormal incidence.arrow_forwardHow much diffraction spreading does a light beam undergo? One quantitative answer is the full width at half maximum of the central maximum of the single-slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. You can evaluate this angle of spreading in this problem. (a) as shown, define φ = πa sin φ/λ and show that at the point where I = 0.5Imax we must have φ = √2 sin φ. (b) Let y1 = sin φ and y2 = φ = /√2. Plot y1 and y2 on the same set of axes over a range from φ = 1 rad to φ = π/2 rad. Determine φ from the point of intersection of the two curves. (c) Then show that if the fraction λ/a is notlarge, the angular full width at half maximum of the central diffraction maximum is θ = 0.885λ/a. (d) What If? Another method to solve the transcendental equation φ = √2 sin φ in part (a) is to guess a first value of φ, use a computer or calculator to see how nearly it fits, and continue to update your estimate until the equation balances.

- The analysis of any two-point source interference pattern and a successful determination of wavelength demands an ability to sort through the measured information and equating the values with the symbols in Young's equation. Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. An interference pattern is produced when light is incident upon two slits that are 50.0 micrometers apart. The perpendicular distance from the midpoint between the slits to the screen is 7.65 m.
