Microwaves of wavelength 5.00 cm enter a long, narrow window in a building that is otherwise essentially opaque to the incoming waves. If the window is 36.0 cm wide, what is the distance from the central maximum to the first - order minimum along a wall 6.50 m from the window?
The intensity L(x) of light x feet beneath the surface of the ocean satisfies the differential equation dL/dx=-kL. From experience, a diver knows that diving to 19 ft in a sea cuts the intensity in half. He cannot work without artifical light when the intensity falls below one-fifth of the surface value. About how deep can he expect to work without artifical light?
round to the nearest tenth

- A beam of light with wavelength 440 nm in air hits a thin piece of glass 10.28 microns thick (with refractive index 1.55) at an angle of 40.8 degrees to the normal. What is the path difference between the two reflections from the layers of the glass, in wavelengths? [Note to get the phase shift we multiply this number by 2π, but this is modulo 2π, i.e. any integer number of wavelengths are 2π phase shifts, equivalent to no phase shift... basically in terms of phase we only really need the non-integer part of your answer. Note also that for the phase shift we would need to add a π for the reflection off the glass-air interface.]arrow_forwardThe transmitting antenna on a submarine is 5.00 m above the water when the ship surfaces.
