Measurements are made of the intensity distribution within the central bright fringe in a Youngs interference pattern (see Fig. 36.5). At a particular value of y, it is found that I/Imax = 0.810 when 600-nm light is used. What wavelength of light should be used to reduce the relative intensity at the same location to 64.0% of the maximum intensity?
(a) Find the maximum number of lines per centimeter a diffraction grating can have and produce a maximum for the smallest wavelength of visible light. (b) Would such a grating be useful for ultraviolet spectra? (c) For infrared spectra?
Light of wavelength 5.00 102 nm is incident normally on a diffraction grating. If the third-order maximum of the diffraction pattern is observed at 32.0, (a) what is the number of rulings per centimeter for the grating? (b) Determine the total number of primary maxima that can be observed in this situation.
Unpolarized light passes through two polaroids as shown.The axis of the firstis vertical and the second axis is at 600 to the vertical. Describe the orientation and intensityof the transmitted light.
Five polarizers are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second, third, fourth and fifth polarizers at angles ofn10,20,30, and 40 degrees relative to that of the first. The first polarizers axis is vertical. I) if unpolarized light of intensith Io is incident on the first polarizer, find the intensity in terms of Io of light emergind from the last 5th polarizer. II) if the second polarizer is removed, but the others are left uncharged,what is the final intensity of the light emerging from the last polarizer in the stack?
Two antennai (which may or may not be in phase with each other) transmit a radio wave at an AM frequency of 1500 kHz. While driving by on a semi-circular road around these antennae, you notice that there are only three totally destructive locations (one at the centerline and two at the same angle above and below the centerline as shown). What is the path length difference of the radio waves for the topmost destructive location?
Initially unpolarized light is incident upon two polarizers. These polarizers have their transmission axes oriented at 90.0◦ relative to each other. (i.) If the incident light has an intensity of I=15.0 W/m2, what is the intensity of the transmitted light (i.e. after the second polarizer)? (ii.) Now, a third polarizer is inserted between the first and second polarizers at 10.0◦ relative to the first. [The original two polarizers don’t move.] What is the intensity of the transmitted light this time?
3. If you have completely polarized light of intensity 270 mW/m2, what will its intensity be after passing through a polarizing filter with its axis at an 89.0° angle to the light’s polarization direction? This is not and will not be graded
An unpolarized light ray with intensity 9.06E-3 W/m2 passes through a pair of polarizers, as shown. If the polarizing axes of the two polarizers can be arbitrarily adjusted, what is the maximum intensity of light that can be detected at point C (in W/m2)? Please give the answer in scientific notation with 3 sig figs
Light with intensity I0 enters a series of two polarizing filters. The first is oriented 20° clockwise from vertical and the second is oriented 20° counterclockwise from vertical. (i) If the initial light is unpolarized, find the light intensity after passing through both filters (in terms of I0). (ii) If the initial light were vertically polarized (same intensity I0), would your answer to (a) change? If so, find the new intensity. If not, then explain why.
Suppose light comes onto a vertical polarizer perpendicular to the front surface. It passes through the first (vertical) polarizer and meets a second polarizer at an angle of 45°. After the second polarizer, the light continues onward to a 3rd polarizer that is positioned horizontally (or 90° from the vertical). If the intensity of the light coming into the first polarizer is 35 W/m^2, what would the intensity be after the 3rd polarizer?
when a 3rd polarizer is placed in between the first two, no light is transmitted. what can you conclude regarding the orientation of the polarizers?
