Explanation Given info: The wavelength of the light in vacuum is 650 nm , the interference maximum at the bottom is observed to at 41 ° , and the interference maximum at the top is observed at 37 ° . Formula to calculate the maximum interference is, 2 d sin θ = m λ 0 n (I) d is the distance between the colloidal particles. θ is the angle of scattering. m is the order of maximum intensity. λ 0 is the wavelength of the laser light. n is the refractive index of water. For θ = 41 ° , the distance between the colloidal interference particle at bottom is Substitute 41 ° for θ , 650 nm for λ , 1 for m and 1.33 for n in the equation (I) to find d bottom . 2 ( d bottom ) sin ( 41 ° ) = 1 ( 650 nm ) ( 1.33 ) d bottom = 372

Refraction of Light

Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.

Angle of Refraction

Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic…
