In Figure 38.4, assume the slit is in a barrier that is opaque to x-rays as well as to visible light. The photograph in Figure 38.4b shows the diffraction pattern produced with visible light. What will happen if the experiment is repeated with x-rays as the incoming wave and with no other changes? (a) The diffraction pattern is similar. (b) There is no noticeable diffraction pattern but rather a projected shadow of high intensity on the screen, having the same width as the slit. (c) The central maximum is much wider, and the minima occur at larger angles than with visible light. (d) No x-rays reach the screen.
Integrated Concepts (a) During laser vision correction, at brief burst at 193 nm ultraviolet light is projected onto the cornea of the patient. It makes a spot 1.00 mm in diameter and deposits 0.500 mJ of energy. Calculate the depth of the layer ablated, assuming the corneal tissue has the same properties as water and is initially at 34.0°C. The tissue’s temperature is increased to 100°C and evaporated without further temperature increase. (b) Does your answer imply that the shape of the cornea can be ?nely controlled?
