1) A pulse of light takes 3.00 ns to travel through air from an emitter to a detector. When a piece of transparent material with a length of 35.0 cm is introduced into the light's path, the pulse takes 3.40 ns to travel that same distance. The piece of transparent material is held so that the pulse never changes direction. What is the speed of light in the transparent material? (in ns please)
2) A small red LED is placed on the principal axis 6.00 cm from a concave mirror that has a radius of curvature of 14.0 cm. The LED can be considered to be a point source. Find the image distance for the image of the LED that is created by the mirror. (in cm please. Image attached below)
I appreciate the help. I've attempeted the first question multiple times and always end up with the wrong answer so I don't know what equation to use.
A laser beam is aimed through a circular aperture of diameter 1 mm.
a. If the laser beam is red with a wavelength of 632.8 nm, what is the angle from the center of the Airy disk to the first dark ring?
b. If the screen you are projecting the Airy disk onto is 2 m from the aperture, what is the distance between the center of the disk and the first dark ring?
c. How does the distance between the center of the disk and the first dark ring change as you move the screen closer to the aperture?
d. You change to a green laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. How does this affect the separation of the rings in the Airy disk?
