Let v be the wave's speed, λ its wavelength, and f its frequency. These quantities are related via the equation v=λf. Note that, if the wave speed decreases, the wavelength must also decrease for the frequency to remain constant.
What is the wavelength λ of light in glass, if its wavelength in air is λ0, its speed in air is c, and its speed in the glass is v?
Express your answer in terms of λ0, c, and v.
If light strikes the air/glass interface at an angle 32.0 degrees to the normal, what is the angle of reflection, θr?
Scientists use laser range finding to measure the distance to the moonwith great accuracy. A very brief (100 ps) laser pulse, with a wavelengthof 532 nm, is fired at the moon, where it reflects off an array of 100 4.0-cm-diameter mirrors placed there by Apollo 14 astronauts in 1971. The reflected laser light returns to earth, where it is collected by a telescope and detected. The average earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. The laser beam spreads out on its way to the moon because of diffraction, reaching the mirrors with an intensity of 300 W/m2. The reflected beam spreads out even more on its way back because of diffraction due to the circular aperture of the mirrors.a. What is the round-trip time for the laser pulse to travel to the moon and back?b. If we want to measure the distance to the moon to an accuracy of 1.0 cm, how accurately must the arrival time of the returning pulse be measured?c. Because of the spread of the beam due to diffraction, the light arriving at earth from one…

A converging lens, 28.7 mm in diameter, is used to form images of distant objects.

The explanation for this seeming paradox is that light from the sun bends slightly when entering the earth’s atmosphere, as shown in Fig. Since our perception is based on the idea that light travels in straight lines, we perceive the light to be coming from an apparent position that is an angle d above the sun’s true position. (a) Make the simplifying assumptions that the atmosphere has uniform density, and hence uniform index of refraction n, and extends to a height h above the earth’s surface, at which point it abruptly stops. Show that the angle d is given by as attached. where R = 6378 km is the radius of the earth. (b) Calculate d using n = 1.0003 and h = 20 km.

An object is to be placed at a point P on a line l, parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on, so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. a) Find an expression for the intensity l(x) at the point P. b) If d = 5m, use graphs of l(x) and l'(x) to show that the intensity is minimized when x = 5m, that is, when P is at the midpoint of l. c) If d = 10m, show that the intensity (perhaps surprisingly) is not minimized at the midpoint. d) Somewhere between d = 5m and d = 10m there is a transitional value of d at which the point of minimal illumination abruptly changes. Estimate this value of d by graphical methods. Then find the exact value…arrow_forward
