A certain grade of crude oil has an index of refraction of 1.25. A ship accidentally spills 1.00 m3 of this oil into the ocean, and the oil spreads into a thin, uniform slick. 11 the Him produces a first-order maximum of light of wavelength 500 mm normally incident on it, how much surface area of the ocean does the oil slick cover? Assume the index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.34.
The condition for constructive interference by reflection from a thin film in air as developed in Section 36.5 assumes nearly normal incidence. What If? Suppose the light is incident on the film at a nonzero angle 1 (relative to the normal). The index of refraction of the film is n, and the film is surrounded by vacuum. Find the condition for constructive interference that relates the thickness t of the film, the index of refraction n of the film, the wavelength of the light, and the angle of incidence 1.
What angle would the axis of a polarizing filter need to make with the direction of polarized light of intensity 1.00kW/m2 to reduce the intensity to 10.0 W/m2?
When unpolarized light passes through a diffraction grating, does it become polarized? (a) No, it does not. (b) Yes, it does, with the transmission axis parallel to the slits or grooves in the grating. (c) Yes, it does, with the transmission axis perpendicular to the slits or grooves in the grating. (d) It possibly does because an electric field above some threshold is blocked out by the grating if' the field is perpendicular to the slits.
In Figure P37.52, suppose the transmission axes of the left and right polarizing disks are perpendicular to each other. Also, let the center disk be rotated on the common axis with an angular speed . Show that if unpolarized light is incident on the left disk with an intensity Imax, the intensity of the beam emerging from the right disk is I=116Imax(1cos4t) This result means that the intensity of the emerging beam is modulated at a rate four times the rate of rotation of the center disk. Suggestion: Use the trigonometric identities cos2=12(1+cos2) and sin2=12(1cos2). Figure P37.52
Unreasonable Results To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a non-reflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
