- The intensity of light in a diffraction pattern of a single slit is described by the equation I=Imaxsin22 where = (a sin )/. The central maximum is at = 0, and the side maxima are approximately at =(m+12) for m = 1, 2, 3, . Determine more precisely (a) the location of the first side maximum, where m = 1, and (b) the location of the second side maximum. Suggestion: Observe in Figure 37.6a that the graph of intensity versus has a horizontal tangent at maxima and also at minima.arrow_forwardMonochromatic coherent light of amplitude E0 and angular frequency passes through three parallel slits, each separated by a distance d from its neighbor. (a) Show that the time-averaged intensity as a function of the angle is I()=Imax[1+2cos(2dsin)]2 (b) Explain how this expression describes both the primary and the secondary maxima. (c) Determine the ratio of the intensities of the primary and secondary maxima. Hint: See Problem 16.arrow_forwardTwo lamps producing light of wavelength 589 nm are fixed 1.0 m apart on a wooden plank. What is the maximum distance an observer can be and still resolve the lamps as two separate sources of light, if the resolution is affected solely by the diffraction of light entering the eye? Assume light enters the eye through a pupil of diameter 4.5 mm.arrow_forward
- A diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 1.40 m from a single slit, using monochromatic light of wavelength 5.00 102 nm. The distance from the center of the central maximum to the first-order maximum is 3.00 mm. Calculate the slit width. Hint: Assume that the first-order maximum is halfway between the first- and second-order minima.arrow_forwardIt is possible that there is no minimum in the interference pattern of a single slit. Explain why. Is the same true of double slits and diffraction gratings?arrow_forwardLight of wavelength 632.8 nm illuminates a single slit, and a diffraction pattern is formed on a screen 1.00 m from the slit. (a) Using the data in the following table, plot relative intensity versus position. Choose an appropriate value for the slit width a and, on the same graph used for the experimental data, plot the theoretical expression for the relative intensity IImax=sin22 where = (a sin )/. (b) What value of a gives the best fit of theory and experiment? Position Relative to Maximum (mm) Relative Intensity 0 1.00 0.8 0.95 1.6 0.80 3.2 0.39 4.8 0.079 6.5 0.003 8.1 0.036 9.7 0.043 11.3 0.013 12.9 0.000 3 14.5 0.012 16.1 0.015 17.7 0.004 4 19.3 0.000 3arrow_forward
- Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.arrow_forwardWhen we studied Youngs double-slit experiment, we mostly ignored the dark fringe pattern produced by diffraction. Use Figure 35.21 to describe situations in which that omission makes sense. Think especially about the single slit used in front of the double slit in Youngs experiment (Fig. 35.9).arrow_forwardSuppose the single slit in Figure 38.4 is 6.00 cm wide and in front of a microwave source operating at 7.50 GHz. (a) Calculate the angle for the first minimum in the diffraction pattern. (b) What is the relative intensity l/lmax at 0 =- 15.0? (c) Assume two such sources, separated laterally by 20.0 cm, are behind the slit. What must be the maximum distance between the plane of the sources and the slit if the diffraction patterns are to be resolved? In this case, the approximation sin tan 8 is not valid because of the relatively small value of a/.arrow_forward
- A double slit produces a diffraction pattern that is a combination of single and double slit interference. Find the ratio of the width of the slits to the separation between them, if the first minimum of the single slit pattern falls on the fifth maximum of the double slit pattern. (This will greatly reduce the intensity of the fifth maximum.)arrow_forwardA student and his lab partner create a single slit by carefully aligning two razor blades to a separation of 0.500 mm. When a helium-neon laser at 633 nm illuminates the slit, a diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 1.25 m beyond the slit. Calculate (a) the angle dark to the first minimum in the diffraction pattern and (b) the width of the central maximum.arrow_forwardMany cells are transparent anti colorless. Structures of great interest in biology and medicine can be practically invisible to ordinary microscopy. To indicate the size and shape of cell structures, an interference micro-scope reveals a difference in index of refraction as a shift in interference fringes. The idea is exemplified in the following problem. An air wedge is formed between two glass plates in contact along one edge and slightly separated at the opposite edge as in Figure P37.37. When the plates are illuminated with monochromatic light from above, the reflected light has 85 dark fringes. Calculate the number of dark fringes that appear if water (n = 1.33) replaces the air between the plates.arrow_forward
