Unpolarized light of intensity
For each part below, determine whether it is possible for the light that reaches the observer to have the given value of intensity.
If so:Determine the direction of polarization of the second polarizer. Show all work.
If not:Explain why not.
- No light reaches the observer.

- Solve the following: (show your complete solution) (a) At what angle is the first minimum for 550-nm light falling on a single slit of width 1.00 µm? (b) Will there be a second minimum?arrow_forwardWhen does light act like a wave and when does it behave like a particle? Please explain thoroughly. Write it clearly so I can understand.arrow_forwardPlease show work and circle answer A laser beam of wavelength 670 nm shines through a diffraction grating that has 750 lines/mm. Sketch the pattern that appears on a screen 1.0 m behind the grating, noting distances on your drawing and explaining where these numbers come from.arrow_forward
- Hi! Please read everything first before answering. Read carefully as well because you might be confused.I asked this question already here in Bartleby but I have not received the exact answer The question is:Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on two polarizers as sketched in Figure B. Suppose the angle between the axes of the two polarizers is θ = 60°. What is the intensity of the transmitted light? EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. And I got the answer 0.125 I₀. The question says THE ANSWER SHOULD BE EXPRESSED AS A FRACTION OF I₀. The answer I got is decimal and i don't know how i will turn it to fraction. I am not sure if converting it to fraction is correct so I am seeking for your help. Please help me. What I just need is TO EXPRESS MY ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. Thank you!arrow_forwardhandwritten needed. What is the transmittance, T, for λ = 1,160 nm TE mode light impinging on a glass plate from the air if the angle of incidence is 46° and the index of refraction of the glass at this wavelength is 1.60? Give your answer as a percentage to 3 decimal points with accuracy.arrow_forwardA case sample is attached.Kindly compute for the following case exercises:1. If light has a speed of 118,000 mps in a transparent material, what is the index refraction of that material?2. How fast will light travel through a material of refractive index of 1.53?arrow_forward
- What, if anything, is wrong with this statement? If something is wrong, identify it, and explain how to correct it. If this statement is correct, explain why. Show all workarrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardwe derived the Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients for linearly-polarized plane waves for the case of TE and TM polarization. Explain in words how can these derivations be extended to circularly-polarized wavesarrow_forward
- solve a,b and c asap a. Explain Diffraction Phenomena?b. Is Laser monochromatic light? Explain? Are there any other methods to determine the wavelength of the laser? Give it ?c. If the width of an aperture is 0.Imm and the distance from the central fringe to the first fringe (z)is 5mm and the distance between the aperture and the screen (L)is 93cm determine the wavelength of light source used ?arrow_forwardShown below is 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 singleand double-slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double- or single-slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single- or double-slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses.arrow_forwardAn observer sees a lightning flash and hears the sound 6 seconds later, thet should estimate the lightning to be how far away? Show your work.arrow_forward
