Two slits are separated by 0.320 mm. A beam of 500 nm light strikes the slits, producing an interference pattern. Determine the number of maxima observed in the angular range `- 30.0^(@) lt theta lt 30.0^(@)`. |
Answer» At `30.0^(@), d sin theta = m lambda` `(3.20 xx 10^(-4) m ) sin 30.0^(@) = m (500 xx 10^(-9) m)` So, `m = 320` There are 320 maxima ot the right, 320 to the left, and one for `m = 0` straight ahead. Therefore, there are 641 maxima. |

A soap bubble `(n = 1.33)` is floating in air. If the thickness of the bubble wall is 115 nm, what is the wavelength of the light that is most strongly reflected? |
Answer» Light reflecting from the first suffer phase reversal. Light reflecting from the second surface does not, but passes twice through the thickness t of the film. So for consturctive interference, we require `(lambda_(n))/(2) + 2 t = lambda n` where `lambda_(n) = (lambda)/(n)` is the wavelength in the material. Then, `2 t = (lambda_(n))/(2) = (lambda)/(2n)` `:. lambda = 4 nt = 4 (1.33) (115nm) = 612 nm` |

|
108. |
What speed should a galaxy move with respect to use so that the sodium line at 589.0 nm is oberved at 589.6 nm ? |
Answer» Since, `v lambda=c, (Deltav)/v=(Deltalambda)/(lambda)` (for small changes in v and `lambda)`. For `Deltalambda =589.6-589.0=+0.6nm` we get [using Equation `=(Deltav)/(v)=(upsilon_("radial"))/(c)]` `(Deltav)/(v)=-(Deltalambda)/(lambda)=-(upsilon_("radical"))/(c)` or `upsilon_("radical")cong +c ((0.6)/(589.0))=+3.06xx10^(5)m s^(-1)=306km//s` Therefore, the galaxy is moving away from us. |
|
109. |
A galaxy moving with speed 300km/s shows blue shift. At what wavelength sodium line at 589.0 nm will be observed ? |
Answer» Here, `v_("radial")=-300 km//s=-3xx10^(5)m//s` Negative sign comes because we observe blue shift i.e., galaxy is approaching us. Now, `-(Deltalambda)/(lambda)=-(v_("radial"))/c` `rArr=-(Deltalambda)/(589.0 nm)=(-(-3xx10^(5)))/((3xx10^(8)))` `rArr Delta lambda=-(589.0)xx10^(-3) nm` =-0.589 Hence, the observed wavelength will be (589.0-0.589)nm =588.411 nm |

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.D. (d) If assertion and reason both are false. |
Answer» Correct Answer - A For reflected system of the film, the maxima or constructive interference is `2mutcosr=((2n-1)lambda)/(2)` while the maxima for transmitted system of film is given by equation `2mutcosr=nlambda` where t is thickness of the film and r is angle of reflection. From these two equations we can see that condition for maxima in rejected system and transmitted system are just opposite. |

(m + (1)/(2))/(m + (3)/(2)) = (lambda_(2))/(lambda_(1)) = (5000)/(7000) = (5)/(7)` and `d = ((m + (1)/(2))lambda_(1))/(2n) = (2.5 xx 7000)/(2 xx 1.3)` `= 6738 Å = 6.738 xx 10^(-5)cm` |

Answer» Correct Answer - 1.45 The path difference is `2mu t`. Now for destructive interface it can be `2mut=(lambda)/(2)` or `(3lambda)/(2)` or `(5lambda)/(2)` and so on……… `mu=(lambda)/(4 t),(3lambda)/(4 t),(5lambda)/(4 t)……..` `=(580xx10^(-9))/(4xx0.3xx10^(-6)) , (3xx580xx10^(-9))/(4xx0.3xx10^(-6)) .......` `0.4833, 3xx0.4833......` so only `mu=3xx0.4833=1.45` is the answer, `{1.3 lt mu lt 1.5}` |

White light, with a uniform intensity across the visible wavelength range 430 - 690 nm, is perpendicularly incident on a wate film, of index of refraction `mu = 1.33` and thickness `d = 320`nm, that is suspended in air. At what wavelength `lambda` is the light reflected by the film brightest to an observer? |
Answer» In this situtaion, Eq. (i) gives the interference maxima. Solving for `lambda` and inserting the given data, we obtain `lambda = (2 mu d)/(n + 1//1) = ((2)(1.33)(320 km))/(n + 1//2) = (851 nm)/(n + 1//2)` For `m = 0`, this give us `lambda = 1700 nm` , which is in the infrared region. For `n = 1`, we find `lambda = 567 nm`, which is yellow-green light, near the middle of the visible spectrum. For `n = 2, lambda = 340 nm`, which is in the ultraviolet region. So, the wavelength at which the light seen by the observer is brightest is `lambda = 567 nm`. |

Answer» (a) Path difference corresponding to minima in our given range is `lambda//2, 3 lambda//2, 5 lambda//2`. Hence, three dark rings will be observed on the wall. (b) Path difference between the waves reaching at P, from Fig. 2.20 `Delta x = S_(2) A` `S_(2) P - S_(1) P = Delta x or d cos theta = Delta x` `cos theta = (Delta x)/(d)` But `tan theta = (y)/(D)` `implies cos theta = (sqrt(D ^(2) - Y^(2)))/(D)` `(D sqrt(1 - (y^(2))/(D^(2))))/(D)` `= (1 - (y^(2))/(D^(2)))^(1//2) = (1 - (Y^(2))/(2D^(2)))` From (i) `Delta x = d cos theta = d (1-(y^(2))/(2D^(2)))` From (i) and (ii), we can find the radius of any dark of bright ring. |

The line `S_(1) S_(2)` when extended meets a screen perpendicular to it at point A. ThenA. the interference fringe on the screen are straight lines shapeB. the interference fringes on the screen are strainght lines perpendicular to the line `S_(1) S_(2) A`C. point A is an intensity maxima if `L = n lambda`D. point A is always an intensity maxima for any separation L |
Answer» Correct Answer - c If the screen is prependicular to y-axis (line joinin the sources), i.e., xz plane, the fringes will be circular (i.e., concentric circles with their centers on the point of intersection of the screen with y-axis). In this situation, central fringe will be bright id `S_(1), S_(2) = n lambda` and dark if `S_(1) S_(2) = (2 n - 1) lambda // 2`. From all this, it is clear that shape of fringes depends on the nature of sources and direction of observation, i.e., position of screen |

Light waves form two coherent source having internsity ration `81:1` produce interference. Then, the ratio of maxima and minima in the interference pattern will be |
Answer» Given, `(I_(1))/(I_(2))=(A_(1)^(2))/(A_(2)^(2))=(81)/(1)` `:. (A_(1))/(A_(2))=(9)/(1)` or `A_(1)=9 A_(2)` …….(1) `:. (I_(max))/(I_(min))=((A_(1)+A_(2))^(2))/((A_(1)-A_(2))^(2))` " From Eq. " (i), we get `(I_(max))/(I_("min"))= ((9A_(2)+A_(2))^(2))/((9A_(2)-A_(2))^(2)) = ((10)^(2))/((8)^(2)) =(25)/(16)` |
