BRAGG REFLECTION ON A DIFFERENT SCALE. A colloid consists of particles of one type of substance dispersed in another substance. Suspensions of electrically charged microspheres (microscopic spheres, such as polystyrene) in a liquid such as water can form a colloidal crystal when the microspheres arrange themselves in a regular repeating pattern under the influence of the electrostatic force. Colloidal crystals can selectively manipulate different wavelengths of visible light. Just as we can study crystal-line solids by using Bragg reflection of x rays, we can study colloidal crystals through Bragg scattering of visible light from the regular arrangement of charged microspheres. Because the light is traveling through a liquid when it experiences the path differences that lead to constructive interference, it is the wavelength in the liquid that determines the angles at which Bragg reflections are seen In one experiment, laser
(c) 650nm (d) 780nm.
36.71 When the light is passed through the bottom of the sample container, the interference maximum is observed to be at 41°; when it is passed through the top, the corresponding maximum is at 37°. What is the best explanation for this observation? (a) The microspheres are more tightly packed at the bottom, because they tend to settle in the suspension, (b) The microspheres are more tightly packed at the top, because they tend to float to the top of the suspension, (c) The increased pressure at the bottom makes the microspheres smaller there. (d)The maximum at the bottom corresponds to m = 2. whereas the maximum at the top corresponds to m = 1.
