Concept explainers

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 36, Problem 41P

GO In the two-slit interference experiment of Fig. 35-10, the slit widths are each 12.0 µm, their separation is 24.0 µm, the wavelength is 600 nm, and the viewing screen is at a distance of 4.00 m. Let I_P represent the intensity at point P on the screen, at height y = 70.0 cm. (a) What is the ratio of I_P to the intensity I_m at the center of the pattern? (b) Determine where P is in the two-slit interference pattern by giving the maximum or minimum on which it lies or the maximum and minimum between which it lies. (c) In the same way, for the diffraction that occurs, determine where point P is in the diffraction pattern.

..40 Go Figure 36-45 gives the pa- ß (rad) rameter of Eq. 36-20 versus the ßs sine of the angle in a two-slit inter- ference experiment using light of wavelength 435 nm. The vertical axis scale is set by B, = 80.0 rad. What are (a) the slit separation, (b) the total number of interference maxima (count them on both sides of the pattern's center), (c) the smallest angle for a maxima, and (d) the greatest angle for a minimum? Assume that none of the interference maxima are completely eliminated by a diffraction minimum. 0 sin 0 0.5 1 Figure 36-45 Problem 40.

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern if λ = 691 nm, d = 0.120 mm, and a = 39.4 μm? (b) What is the ratio of the intensity of the third bright fringe to the intensity of the central fringe? (a) Number i 3 Units No units (b) Number 2.0E-4 Units No units

The double slit experiment is a quintessential wave experiment in physics. Given a third order fringe 5.00 cm away from the central fringe, a double slit with a separation of 0.0510 mm, and a distance between the slits and the fringes of 1.50 m, find the following. (a) wavelength 56E-9 X For a double slit, how is the distance from the central maximum to any constructive interference site (bright fringe) related to the separation of the slits, distance between the slits and the interference pattern, and the wavelength of the light? nm (b) separation between adjacent fringes cm Additional Materials Reading
