- (a) What is the ratio of the speed of red light to violet light in diamond, based on Table 1.2? (b) What is this ratio in polystyrene? (c) Which is more dispersive?arrow_forwardFigure P36.35 shows a radio-wave transmitter and a receiver separated by a distance d = 50.0 m and both a distance h = 35.0 m above the ground. The receiver can receive signals both directly from the transmitter and indirectly from signals that reflect from the ground. Assume the ground is level between the transmitter and receiver and a 180 phase shift occurs upon reflection. Determine the longest wavelengths that interfere (a) constructively and (b) destructively.

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in a vacuum?arrow_forwardTwo in phase, monochromatic light rays traverse transparent materials with differing indices of refraction but a common length. The wavelength of the light is 1 = 500. nm . Far from the materials the light rays are combined without further phase shifts and there is interference. a. If n =1.50 n, =1.625 and L=12.0µm what is the phase difference in wavelengths ( N, - N, )? b. If n, =1.475 =1.60 and L=12.00µm what is the phase difference in wavelengths ( N2 - N, )? c.

The frequency and the speed of light decrease but the wavelength of the light increases. O . The wavelength and the speed of light decrease but the frequency of the light remain the same. 3. The frequency and the speed of the light increases but the wavelength of the light decreases. The wavelength and the speed of the light decrease but the frequency of the light increases.arrow_forwardA film material with n coating is 380nm thick.

Light that has a wavelength of A in vacuum is incident on a piece of glass (n = 1.6) coated with a film of thickness t with n = 1.3.

If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be a phase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? How can you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in either beam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials. b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses (hint: it's thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nm is used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and 35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.arrow_forward
