The two headlights on an on-coming car are 1.40 m apart. At what distance (in km) will an eye with pupil diameter of 4.30 mm be able to resolve the two headlights? Assume a wavelength of 517 nm for the light.
A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength 500nm passes through a slit of width 0. 5mm. Find the angular divergence in which most of the light is diffracted.
If we have two light rays with equal wavelength 470 nm which have a constant path difference of 1645 nm, how will they interfere?

- The movable mirror of a Michelson interferometer is attached to one end of a thin metal rod of length 23.3 mm. The other end of the rod is anchored so it does not move.

(b) Find the angles (with respect to the surface plane AA) of the n = 1, 2, and 3 intensity maxima from planes with spacing d1. Let = 0.626 and d0 = 4.00 . Note that a given crystal structure (for example, cubic) has interplanar spacings with characteristic ratios, which produce characteristic diffraction patterns. In this way, measurement of the angular position of diffracted x-rays may be used to infer the crystal structure. Figure P3.38 Atomic planes in a cubic lattice.arrow_forward
