(a) Find the minimum value of d that produces maximum transmission of perpendicular H light if the dielectric has an index of refraction of 1.378. (b) What If?

- In a laboratory, light from a particular spectrum line of helium passes through a diffraction grating and the second-order maximum is at 18.9° from the center of the central bright fringe. The same grating is then used for light from a distant galaxy that is moving away from the earth with a speed of 2.65 x 107 m/s. For the light from the galaxy, what is the angular location of the second-order maximum for the same spectral line as was observed in the lab?arrow_forwardWhen an x-ray beam is scattered off the planes of a crystal, the scattered beam creates an interference pattern. This phenomenon is called Bragg scattering. For an observer to measure an interference maximum, two conditions have to be satisfied: 1. The angle of incidence has to be equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The difference in the beam's path from a source to an observer for neighboring planes has to be equal to an integer multiple of the wavelength; that is, 2d sin(0) = mx for m = 1, 2, .... The path difference 2d sin(0) can be determined from the diagram (Figure 1). The second condition is known as the Bragg condition. Figure 1 of 1 d sine d sine Review nstants Part A An x-ray beam with wavelength 0.260 nm is directed at a crystal.

- Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.arrow_forwardIn a single-slit diffraction experiment, monochromatic light of wavelength 505 nm is passed through a slit 0.320 mm wide, and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 7.14 m from the slit.

What is the ratio of the intensity at the center of the pattern to the intensity at a point 3.09 mm from the center of the diffraction pattern (?/?0)?arrow_forwardAngel is experimenting with a diffraction grating of unknown spacing. He is looking to determine the wavelength of the light in the emission spectrum of a gas and finds that a light having a known wavelength of 623.1nm is deflected by 43.8 ° away from the central maximum in the second order by this grating. Light of the wavelength to be measured is deflected by 45.4° away from the central maximum in the second order. What is the wavelength of this light in nanometers?
