Consider a light wave passing through a slit and propagating
toward a distant screen. 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. Sugges-
tion: You are not expected to calculate the precise percent-
age, but explain the steps of your reasoning. You may use

Often 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 = 0.0015 W to reach an intensity of I = 350 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.15 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011 m when it enters the lens.Randomized VariablesP = 0.0015 WI = 350 W/cm2f = 0.15 mr = 0.0011 m
Part (a) Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?)
Part (b) Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f? Part (c) Express the distance, D, between the lens's focal point and the illuminated object using tan(α) and rp. Part (d) Find the distance, D, in centimeters.
Light of several wavelengths strikes a thin film of index 1.4. The thickness of the thin film is 320 nm and sits on awater, which has an index of refraction of 1.33. Which wavelength will produce the least reflected light: 440 nm or580 nm? Include a diagram. Clearly outline the steps of your thought process.
This is a old study question that I am stuck on.
