Show that if you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 45° to the first and the third at an angle of 90.0° to the first, the intensity of light passed by the first will be reduced to 25.0% of its value. (This is in contrast to having only the first and third, which reduces the intensity to zero, so that placing the second between them increases the intensity of the transmitted light.)
If b is Brewster's angle for light reflected from the top of an interface between two substances, and b is Brewster's angle for light reflected from below, prove that b+b=90.0.
When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink. To do this, the separation of the dots must be less than Raleigh's criterion. Take the pupil of the eye to be 3.0 mm and the distance from the paper to the eye of 35 cm; find the minimum separation of two dots such that they cannot be resolved. How many dots per inch (dpi) does this correspond to?
A ring with a colorless gemstone is dropped into water.The gemstone becomes invisible when submerged. Can it be a diamond? Explain.
Does the refractive index of a certain material depend on the color of light incident on it? Explain.
The condition for total polarization, at Brewster's angle, for a reflected beam from the interface between two media is that the reflected beam and the refracted beam are perpendicular to each other (see Figure 23.22). Use this information to determine a formula for Brewster's angle for an interface between vacuum and medium of index of refraction n.
Does refraction make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? Explain
A piece of material, suspected of being a stolendiamond (n=2.42)is submerged in oil of refractive index1.43 and illuminated by unpolarized light. It is found thatthe reflected light is completely polarized at an angle of 62°.Is it diamond? Explain
A ray of monochromatic light travelling in air strikes the end of a 21 cm wide block of Plexiglas at an incident angle of65°. The index of refraction for the Plexiglas is 1.51 and for air is 1.003 The light travels to the opposite side of the block and refracts out into the air. The path of the refracted light ray isparallel to the original light ray but displaced a distance d. Calculate the value of d. No you cannot just look up aformula on internet, draw diagram.
How can you determine the polarization axis for a single sheet of Polaroid (especially if you’re at the edge of a lake)?
A soap film of refractive indes 1.34 appears yellow (λ = 5.80 x 10^2 nm) when viewed directly from the same side as the source of light. Calculate two possible values for the thickness of the film.
Prove that, if I is the intensity of light transmitted by two polarizing filters with axes at an angle and I is the intensity when the axes are at an angle 90.0, then I+I=I0, the original intensity. (Hint: Use the trigonometric identities cos(90.0)=sin and cos2+sin2=1 .)
