Concept explainers

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

An astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) is experimenting with a solid-state green laser communications system from on-orbit at 435 km altitude to the earth's surface with a wavelength of 532nm and beam divergence (width) of 10 radians or 5.73 x 10-150 << 1°. The indices of refraction in free space and the atmosphere are no = 1.00000 ..., and na = 1.000293. Although density in the atmosphere varies continuously from the thinness of the upper atmosphere (near p → 0) to higher density at the surface, refraction can be modeled as a “surface' mid-atmosphere just like classic Snell's Law calculations.

A beam of light with wavelength 440 nm in air hits a thin piece of glass 10.28 microns thick (with refractive index 1.55) at an angle of 40.8 degrees to the normal. What is the path difference between the two reflections from the layers of the glass, in wavelengths? [Note to get the phase shift we multiply this number by 2π, but this is modulo 2π, i.e. any integer number of wavelengths are 2π phase shifts, equivalent to no phase shift... basically in terms of phase we only really need the non-integer part of your answer. Note also that for the phase shift we would need to add a π for the reflection off the glass-air interface.]
