Answer true in front of the correct statement and false in front of the incorrect statement : 1/ The unstable resonator is the resonator in which the electromagnetic rays oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the optical resonator. 2/ In the confocal spherical resonator, the length of the resonator is equal to half the sum of the diagonals of the two mirrors. 3/ In the concentric spherical resonator, the length of the resonator is equal to the sum of the two spherical radii. 4/ Fabri-Peru resonator is considered ideal because there is no loss in it.

Check Your Understanding Although we did no specify the direction in Example 1.7, let’s say the polarizing filter was rotated clockwise by 71.6° to reduce the light intensity by 90.0%. What would be the intensity reduction if the polarizing filter were rotated counterclockwise by 71.6°’
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=sinand cos2sin2=1 .)
Show that a diffraction grating cannot produce a second-order maximum for a given wavelength of light unless the first-order maximum is at an angle less than 30.0°.
Check Your Understanding Although m, the number of fringes observed, is an integer, which is often regarded as having zero uncertainty, in practical terms, it is all too easy to lose track when counting fringes. In Example 3.6, if you estimate that you might have missed as many as five fringes when you reported m=122 fringes, (a) is the value for the index of refraction worked out in Example 3.6 too large or too small? (b) By how much?
Show that if you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 45.0to the first and at third at an angle of 90.0to 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.)
A Michelson interferometer is used to measure the wavelength of light put through it. When the movable mirror is moved by exactly 0.100 mm, the number of fringes observed moving through is 316. What is the wavelength of the light?
