A micrometer is connected to the movable mirror of an
interferometer. When the micrometer is tightened down
on a thin metal foil, the net number of bright fringes that
move, compared to closing the empty micrometer, is 296.
What is the thickness of the foil? The wavelength of light
used is 589 nm.
A beam of light passes from glass with refractive index 1.58 into water with a refractive index 1.33. The
angle of the refracted ray in water is 58.0°.
a) Draw a sketch of the situation showing the interface between the media, the normal line, the incident
ray, the reflected ray, the refracted ray, and the angles of these rays relative to the normal line.
b) Calculate the angle of incidence in the glass.

- A 2 x 2 m flat plate solar collector for domestic hot water heating is shown in the figure. The incident solar radiation on the glass cover, which transmits 90% of the incident flux, is 750 W/m2. Water flows through the tubes soldered to the backside of the absorber plate, entering at a temperature of 25°C. The temperature of the glass cover is 27°C, and it radiates heat with an emissivity of 0.92 to the sky at –50°C. Additionally, the glass cover losses heat by convection to air at 20°C flowing over its surface at 30 km/h. Assume that the radiation heat transfer between the absorber plate and glass cover and the heat transfer through the back and sides of the collector is negligible.arrow_forward4.
