CP The index of refraction of a glass rod is 1.48 at T = 20.0°C and varies linearly with temperature, with a coefficient of 2.50 × 10−5/C°. The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is 5.00 × 10−6/C°. At 20.0°C the length of the rod is 3.00 cm. A Michelson interferometer has this glass rod in one arm, and the rod is being heated so that its temperature increases at a rate of 5.00 C°/min. The light source has wavelength λ = 589 nm, and the rod initially is at T = 20.0°C. How many fringes cross the field of view each minute?

Under which of the following conditions can total internal reflection occur at the interface of the two media? (a) The indices of refraction have the relation n2 n1. (b) The indices of refraction have the relation n1 n2. (c) Light travels slower in the second medium than in the first. (d) The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle. (e) The angle of incidence must equal the angle of refraction.arrow_forwardA ray of light leaves air (n=1) and enters glass (n= 1.5).

- Although the transmission of light, and electromagnetic radiation generally, is correctly described by wave (physical) optics, there are situations for which ray (geometric) optics gives a sufficiently good approximation. For each of the situations described in the following, determine whether ray optics may be used or wave optics must be used. Part (a) Green laser light of wavelength 565 nm is incident on a 35-cm diameter mirror. Part (b) Red laser light of wavelength 629 nm is incident on a molecule of size 105 nm.
