Question
Chapter 7, Problem 4E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term ‘light’ is to be defined and the rate at which the light travels is to be determined. Also, the electric and magnetic fields of light are to be represented.

Concept introduction:

The speed of light is the ratio of the distance travelled by the light to the time required to travel that distance.

The electric field is a region around a charged particle within which a force would b exerted on another charged particle.

The magnetic field is a region around a magnet containing a magnetic force.

  • Answer the following questions about a Blu-ray laser: (a) The laser on a Blu-ray player has a wavelength of 405 nm. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2. Disks have an outside diameter of 120 mm and a hole of 15-mm diameter. How many data bits can be contained on the disk? If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data. The area inside a circle is given by A=r2, where the radius r is one-half of the diameter.)
    Arrange the kinds of light listed below in order of increasing wavelength: Red visible light, blue visible light, infrared light, and X-rays X-ray blue visible red visible infrared infrared red visible blue visible X-ray blue visible red visible X-ray infrared
    Light of very long wavelength strikes a photosensitive metallic surface and no electrons are ejected. Explain why increasing the intensity of this light on the metal still will not cause the photoelectric effect.
