Explain in great detail, the two point source interference pattern and provide a diagram to further convey the concept.
For the figures shown below, the two sources are 6cm apart, and they are in phase. Two paths are drawn from the sources to a point. (The picture is to scale, even if the sources are not 6cm apart on the paper.) (a) If the wavelength of the two sources is 2cm, for each picture, figure out whether the point marks a position of constructive or destructive interference. (b) Repeat if the wavelength is 1cm.
Discuss the two cases, constructive and destructive interferences, as a result of thin-film interference. (Provide figure/s to support your statement.)
the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit.The pattern is actually a combination of single slit and double slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Isthis a double slit or single slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this asingle slit or double slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses
A speaker plays a single musical note into the apparatus shown below. The sound takes two paths to an opening where a receiver is positioned. One path is fixed in length, while the other can be adjusted. Suppose that the receiver detects constructive interference at a particular instant. The speaker is producing sound with a frequency of 652 Hz, and that sound travels through the tubes at 343 m/s. By what minimum amount (in cm) should the adjustable path length be increased for the receiver to detect destructive interference?
Derive the transmission and reflection coefficient of monochromatic plane wave propagating from non conducting incident to conducting incident. Assume that the incident wave hits perpendicular to the medium. Can you please help me with this problem show a complete and explicit solution with an explanation step by step. Note: No shortcuts and don't skip any mathematical algebra.
In a Young's double-slit experiment, blue light (?λ = 440 m) gives a second-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen. What wavelength of visible light would produce a dark fringe at the same location? Assume that the range of visible wavelengths extends from 380 to 750 nm. Calculate the wavelength that fulfills the problem description. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did, any approximations you make and the thought process behind why you did that. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation.
When the width of the slit is made double, how would this effect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band? Justify your answer with the help of diagram.
The experiment described in question 2 above is performed, but this time, a strip of transparent plastic is placed over the left slit. Its presence changes the interference between light waves from the two slits, causing the interference pattern to be shifted across the screen from the original pattern. Explain, clearly but briefly, which way (right or left) the original pattern shifts and why this shift occurs.
Solve the two double-slit equations above for λ in terms of the measurable quantities d, y, m, and L. You may use the small angle approximation: sin θ ≈ tan θ.
Two loudspeakers are placed above and below each other, as in the figure below, and driven by the same source at a frequency of 4.40 ✕ 102 Hz. An observer is in front of the speakers (to the right) at point O, at the same distance from each speaker. What minimum vertical distance upward should the top speaker be moved to create destructive interference at point O? (Let h = 2.58 m and use v = 343 m/s.)
You just won a brand new laser pen and you want to know the wavelength of the light, so you set up Young’s double-slit experiment and observe the interference pattern on screen 1.2 meters away from the slits. The slits are 0.25 mm apart and you measure the distance between the centers of the first dark fringes on either side of the central maximum to be 3 mm. What is the wavelength of your new laser? If visible, what color should it appear, if not visible state the region of the EM spectrum? Hint: Draw a picture.
