Chapter 37, Problem 15P
Impressionist painter Georges Seurat created paintings with an enormous number of dots of pure pigment, each of which was approximately 2.00 mm in diameter. The idea was to have colors such as red and green next to each other to form a scintillating canvas, such as in his masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (Fig. P37.15). Assume λ = 500 nm and a pupil diameter of 5.00 mm. Beyond what distance would a viewer be unable to discern individual dots on the canvas?

- A glass surface is coated by an oil film of uniform thickness 1.00 x 10-4 cm. The index of refraction of the oil is 1.25 and that of the glass is 1.50. Some of the wavelengths in visible region (400 nm 490 nm) are completely transmitted by the oil film under normal incidence. n x 10 One of the wavelength transmitted completely in visible region is m. Find the value 11 of n.arrow_forwardOften in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens.
