If laser light is reflected from a phonograph record or a compact disc, a differentiation pattern appears. The pattern arises beacuse both devices contain parallel trace of information that act as a reflection diffraction grating. Which device, record or compact disc. results in diffraction maxima that are farther apart?
A high-quality diamond may be quite clear and colorless, transmitting all visible wavelengths with little absorption. Explain how it can sparkle with flashes of brilliant color when illuminated by white light.
Young’s double-slit experiment breaks a single light beam into two sources. Would the same pattern be obtained for two independent sources of light, such as the headlights of a distant car? Explain.
A microscope slide 10 cm long is separated from a glass plate at one end by a sheet of paper. As shown below, the other end of the slide is in contact with the plate. The slide is illuminated from above by light from a sodium lamp (=589nm) , and 14 fringes per centimeter are seen along the slide. What is the thickness of the piece of paper?
The yellow light from a sodium vapor lamp seems to be of pure wavelength, but it produces two first-order maxima at 36.093° and 36.129° when projected on a 10,000 line per centimeter diffraction grating. What are the two wavelengths to an accuracy of 0.1 nm?
Suppose a feather appears green but has no green pigment. Explain in terms of diffraction.
The interference pattern of a He-Ne laser light (=632.9nm) passing through two slits 0.031 mm apart is projected on a screen 10.0 m away. Determine the distance between the adjacent bright fringes.
Suppose Youngs experiment is carried out in air, and then, in a second experiment, the apparatus is immersed in water. In what way does the distance between bright fringes change? (a) They move farther apart. (b) they move closer together. (c) There is no change.
Calculate the wavelength of light that produces its first minimum at an angle of 36.9° when falling on a single slit of width 1.00 m.
Describe how a Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas (including air).
The yellow light from a sodium vapor lamp seems to be of pure wavelength, but it produces two first-order maxima at 36.093° and 36.129° when projected on a 10,000 line per centimeter diffraction grating. What are the two wavelengths to an accuracy of 0.1 nm?
The width of bright fringes can be calculated as the separation between the two adjacent dark fringes on either side. Find the angular widths of the third- and fourth-order bright fringes from the preceding problem.
