In a large vacuum chamber, monochromatic laserlight passes through a narrow slit in a thin aluminum plate and formsa diffraction pattern on a screen that is 0.500m from the slit. When thealuminum plate has a temperature of 20.0 C, the width of the centralmaximum in the diffraction pattern is 2.75 mm. What is the change inthe width of the central maximum when the temperature of the plate israised to 520.0 C? Does the width of the central diffraction maximumincrease or decrease when the temperature is increased?
Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico , “can detect a signal which lays down on the entire surface of the earth a power of only one picowatt.” (a) What is the power that would be received by the Arecibo antenna for such a signal? The antenna diameter is 300 m. (b) What would be the power of an isotropic source at the center of our galaxy that could provide such a signal? The galactic center is 2.2 * 10^4 ly away. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.
If a diffraction grating produces a first-order maximum forthe shortest wavelength of visible light at 30.0º , at whatangle will the first-order maximum be for the longestwavelength of visible light?

- Radio telescopes are telescopes used for the detection of radio emission from space. Because radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light, the diameter of a radio telescope must be very large to provide good resolution. For example, the radio telescope in Penticton, BC in Canada, has a diameter of 26 m and can be operated at frequencies as high as 6.6 GHz. (a) What is the wavelength corresponding to this frequency? (b) What is the angular separation of two radio sources that can be resolved by this telescope? (c) Compare the telescope’s resolution with the angular size of the moon.arrow_forwardAn inventor notices that a soap bubble is dark at its thinnest and realizes that destructive interference is taking place for all wavelengths.
