- Solar cells are an example of anti-reflective coatings. Let a silicon solar cell (n = 3.45) coated with a layer of silicon dioxide (n = 1.45). Calculate the minimum coating thickness that will minimize the reflection of the light with wavelength of 650 nm?arrow_forward10 mW of light is incident on a piece of GaAs which is 0.2mm thick. The incident light is a mixture of 5mW at λ1=1.553μm and 5mW at λ2=0.828μm. A total of 7mW mixed light exits out of the GaAs. Assume no reflections at the air/GaAs interface and any light generated by recombination won’t exit the GaAs. What are the absorption coefficients, α, for two different wavelengths?arrow_forwardA flat piece of glass is held stationary and horizontal above the highly polished, flat top end of a 8.50-cm-long vertical metal rod that has its lower end rigidly fixed. The thin film of air between the rod and glass is observed to be bright by reflected light when it is illuminated by light of wavelength 530 nm. As the temperature is slowly increased by 21.5°C, the film changes from bright to dark and back to bright 200 times. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal? °c-1arrow_forward
- A thin film of cryolite (nc = 1.27) is applied to a camera lens (ng = 1.64). The coating is designed to reflect wavelengths at the blue end of the spectrum and transmit wavelengths in the near-infrared. What minimum thickness gives high transmission at A? Answer in units of nm.arrow_forwardAnti-reflective coatings on camera lenses and glasses work by utilizing thin-film interference to greatly reduce reflected light. (Ever wondered why your glasses have a bluish/magenta tint when they reflect light? It's from that thin film!)We wish to coat flat glass (n=1.50) with a transparent material (n=1.25), so that reflection of light at wavelength 402.375nm is eliminated by interference. What is the minimum thickness (nm) of the coating that will work for our purposes?arrow_forwardTwo point sources of light are separated by 5.5 cm a. As viewed through a 13 μmμm diameter pinhole, what is the maximum distance from which they can be resolved if red light ( λλ = 690 nmnm) is used? b.

Figure P37.53 shows the intensity variation for the pattern on the screen. Give a mathematical argument that more than 90% of the transmitted energy is in the central maximum of the diffraction pattern.

This device works by having the light go through a diffraction grating and then carefully measuring the angle at which the light exits the grating. The problem is that the grating that you have is not labeled, so you do not know the spacing. To calibrate the spectrometer, you send a HeNe laser (wavelength 632.8nm) through the grating and observe it to exit at an angle of 37.6° in the second order by this grating. (For obscure technical reasons, the first order is not observable.) Light from the gas is then measured to be deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?arrow_forwardThe lens of a camera has a thin film coating designed to enhance the ability of the lens to absorb visible light near the middle of the spectrum, specifically light of wavelength 560 nm.
