What happened when there is a two-source interference of light? * 1 Origins of disturbances in space yields periodic and concentric wavefronts that generates oscillation of nodal and antinodal lines. The lightwave bends due to the relative homogeneity of mediums. Disturbances occurred due to barriers made by an upper surface and another lower surface of a thin medium. From the origin of disturbance, a wavefront is traversing a medium heading the direction of an aperture resulting in the bending of light.

Calculate the wavelength of light that has its third minimum at an angle of 30.0° when falling on double slits separated by 3.00 m. Explicitly show how you follow the steps from the Problem-Solving Strategy: Wave Optics, located at the end of the chapter.
How do wave effects depend on the size of the object with which the wave interacts? For example, why does sound bend around the corner of a building while does not?
Consider a light wave passing through a slit and propagating toward a distant screen. Figure P37.53 shows the intensity variation for the pattern on the screen. Give a mathematical argument that more than 90% of the transmitted energy is in the central maximum of the diffraction pattern. Suggestion: You are not expected to calculate the precise percentage, but explain the steps of your reasoning. You may use the identification 112+132+152+=28 Figure P37.53
Integrated Concepts An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Outside the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 600-Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.800 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s?
Suppose you use the same double slit to perform Young’s double-slit experiment in air and then repeat the experiment in water. Do the angles to the same parts of the interference pattern get larger or smaller? Does the color of the light change? Explain.
What is light wave communication using optical fibres? Explain in detail.
A sound wave with a frequency of 3000 Hz and a speed of 343 m/s diffracts through a rectangular opening in a speaker and propagates through a large auditorium. The opening, with a horizontal width of 30 cm, is located against a wall that is 100 m away from the speaker (see figure). Determine at which points near this wall the listeners will be located in the first diffraction minimum, and therefore will have difficulty hearing the sound? (Neglect reflections from the walls.)

Based on your observations of light and waves, what can you conclude about the claim: "light behaves as a transverse wave"? Draw on specific observations from diffraction, reflection, refraction and polarization to support your answer.
The hard outer coating of many beetles has microscopic structures that produce amazing colors. In some ground beetles, parallel ridges in the cuticle function as a reflection grating, the source of the rainbow colors in the reflection from the beetle as shown. An analysis of the grating spacing can provide valuable taxonomic information. A researcher illuminated a specimen of ground beetle with a beam of yellow light with λ = 570 nm. The resulting diffraction produced clear maxima at 13° and 25°. What is the spacing of theridges that produces this diffraction effect?
HELPE ME PLESEE give and explain at least 3 evidence that light is a wave. Make sure that you include diffraction, polarization, and interference are included in the explanation. Give examples and COUNTER EXAMPLES to help with your explanation.
The analysis of any two-point source interference pattern and a successful determination of wavelength demands an ability to sort through the measured information and equating the values with the symbols in Young's equation. Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. An interference pattern is produced when light is incident upon two slits that are 50.0 micrometers apart. The perpendicular distance from the midpoint between the slits to the screen is 7.65 m. The distance between the two third-order antinodes on opposite sides of the pattern is 32.9 cm. y= ________ d=________ m=_______ L=________
