If light with a wavelength of 480 nm is used in a two-slit experiment with a barrier with slits that are 0.05 mm apart that is 1.6 m from the projection screen. What is the distance from the center of the first and third dark fringes? Show your work.

A thin beam of white light is directed at a flat sheet of silicate flint glass at an angle of 20° to the surface of the sheet. Due to dispersion in the glass, the beam is spread out in a spectrum as shown in the figure. The refractive index of silicate flint glass versus wavelength is graphed in figure to the right. (a) The rays (A and B) shown in the figure correspond to the extreme wavelengths. Which corresponds to red and which to violet? Explain your reasoning. (b) For what thickness of the glass sheet will the spectrum be 1.0 mm wide, as shown (see Problem 7)? Hint: you must first solve Problem 7 first before doing Problem 8). Answer: 93.5 mm

- A light is to be placed above the center of a circular area of radius a. What height gives the best illumination on a circular walk surrounding the area? (When light from a point source strikes a surface obliquely, the intensity of illumination is I = (k sinA)/d^2 where A is the angle of incidence and d the distance from the source.) [Show your answer on the nearest hundredths]arrow_forwardA narrow beam of light is incident on the left side of the prism shown in the figure below. The prism is a right triangle, with two of its angles measuring 45°. A) The transmitted beam that exits the hypotenuse of the prism makes an angle of ? = 17.5° with the direction of the incident beam. What is the index of refraction of the prism? B) In part (a), we assumed the beam was monochromatic. Consider instead the case where the beam was composed of white light. Because the index of refraction differs for different wavelengths, the white light would be dispersed into constituent colors. Assume the index of refraction for blue wavelengths is 1.01n and for red wavelengths it is 0.99n, where n is the index of refraction found in part (a). What is the angular spread (in degrees) between red and blue light exiting the prism?arrow_forwardDiscuss the two cases, constructive and destructive interferences, as a result of thin-film interference.
