Pattern Pattern repeats repeats MM: Le Bright red lines Band spacing is exactly the same as in the pattern produced by the two slits, but now light bands are much thinner and separated by wider dark bands. 28, Line Spacing You shine a red laser light through one diffraction grating and form a pattern of red dots on a screen. Then you substitute a second diffraction grating for the first one, forming a different pattern. The dots produced by the first grating are spread out more than those produced by Solutions Manual 403 Chapter 19 continued the second. Which grating has more lines per millimeter? 4 ~ 24, 60 the greater the dot spacings, x, the narrower the slit spacing, d, and thus more lines per millimeter. 29. Rayleigh Criterion The brightest star in the winter sky in the northem hemisphere is Sirius. In reality Sirius is a system of two stars that orbit each other. If the Hubble Space ‘Telescope (diameter 2.4 m) is pointed at the Sirius system, which is 8.44 light-years from Earth, what is the minimum separation there would need to be between the stars in order for the telescope to be able to resolve them? ‘Assume that the average light coming from the stars has a wavelength of 550 nm, 1.22(330x10-9 m)(7.99%10"6 m) 2am 2101 m 30, Critical Thinking You are shown a spectrometer, but do not know whether it produces its spectrum with a prism or a grating, By looking at a white-light spectrum, how could you tell? Determine if the violet or the red end of the spectrum makes the largest angle with the direction of the beam of inci- dent white light. A prism bends the vio- let end of the spectrum the most, whereas a grating diffracts red wave- lengths the most. Chapter Assessment Concept Mapping page 536 31. Monochromatic light of wavelength A illuminates two slits in a Young's double-slit experiment setup that are separated by a distance, d. A pattern is projected onto a screen a distance, L, away from the slits. 404° Solutions Manual Complete the following concept map using AL, and d to indicate how you could vary them to produce the indicated change in the spacing between adjacent bright bands, x Mastering Concepts page 536 32. 33. 34, Why is it important that monochromatic light ‘was used to make the interference pattern in ‘Young's interference experiment? (19.1) When monochromatic light is used, you get a sharp interference pattern; if you use white light, you get sets of colored bands. Explain why the position of the central bright band of a double-lit interference pattern cannot be used to determine the wavelength of the light waves. (19.1) All wavelengths produce the line in the same place. Describe how you could use light of a known wave-length to find the distance between two slits. (19.1) Let the light fall on the double slit, and let the interference pattern fall on a sheet of paper. Measure the spacings between the bright bands, x, and use the equation d= aL, Describe in your own words what happens in thin-film interference when a dark band is produced by light shining on a soap film sus- pended in air. Make sure you include in your explanation how the wavelength of the light and thickness of the film are related. (19.1) Physics: Principles and Problems : i Chapter 19 continued 36. 38. When the light strikes the front of the film, some reflects off this surface and some passes through the film and reflects off the back surface of the film. When light reflects off a medium with a higher index of refraction, it undergoes a phase shift of one-half wavelength; this happens to the light that initially reflects. In order for a dark band to be produced, the two light rays must be ‘one-half wavelength out of phase. If the thickness of the film is such that the ray reflecting off the back surface goes through a whole number of cycles while passing through the film, the light rays arriving at your eye will be out of phase and destructively interfere. Remember that the wavelength is altered by the index of refraction of the film, so that the thickness of the film must equal a multiple of half a wavelength of the light, divided by the film’s index of refrac White light shines through a diffraction rating, Are the resulting red lines spaced more closely or farther apart than the resulting violet lines? Why? (19.2) The spacing is directly proportional to the wavelength, and because red light has a longer wavelength than violet, the red lines will be spaced farther apart than the violet lines. Why do diffraction gratings have large numbers of slits? Why are these slits 50 close together? (19.2) The large number of grooves in diffrac- tion gratings increases the intensity of the diffraction patterns. The grooves are close together, producing sharper images of light. Why would a telescope with a small diam- eter not be able to resolve the images of two closely spaced stars? (19.2) Small apertures have large diffraction patterns that limit resolution. Physics: Principles and Problems 89. Fora given diffraction grating, which color of visible light produces a bright line closest to the central bright band?

A double-slit interference pattern con- sists of equally spaced lines of almost equal brightness. A single-siit diffrac- tion pattern has a bright, broad central band and dimmer side bands. 42, Describe the changes in a single-slit diffraction pattem as the width of the slit is decreased. The bands get wider and dimmer. 43. Science Fair Ata science fair, one exhibi- tion is a very large soap film that has a fairly consistent width. It is illuminated by a light with a wavelength of 432 nm, and nearly the entire surface appears to be a lovely shade of purple. What would you see in the following situations? a. the film thickness was doubled ‘complete destructive interference b. the film thickness was increased by half a wavelength of the illuminating light complete constructive interference Solutions Manual 405 Chapter 19 continued the film thickness was decreased by one quarter of a wavelength of the illuminating light complete destructive interference ‘44, What are the differences in the characteris- tics of the diffraction patterns formed by diffraction gratings containing 10* lines/cm and 10° lines/cm? The lines in the diffraction pattern are narrower for the 105 lines/cm grating. 48. Laser Pointer Challenge You have two laser pointers, a red one and a green one. Your friends Mark and Carlos disagree about which has the longer wavelength. Mark insists that red light has a longer wavelength, while Carlos is sure that green has the longer wavelength. You have a diffraction grating handy. Describe what demonstration you ‘would do with this equipment and how you ‘would explain the results to Carlos and Mark to settle their disagreement. Shine each laser pointer through the grat- ing onto a nearby wall. The color with the longer wavelength will produce dots with a greater spacing on the wall because the spacing is directly proportional to the wavelength. (Mark is correct; red light has a longer wavelength than green light.) 46. Optical Microscope Why is blue light used. for illumination in an optical microscope? Less diffraction results from the short wavelength of blue light. Mastering Problems 19.1 Interference pages 536-537 Level 1 47.

Thinking Critically page 538 410 Apply Concepts Yellow light falls on a dif- fraction grating, On a screen behind the grating, you see three spots: one at zero degrees, where there is no diffraction, and one each at +30° and ~30". You now add a blue light of equal intensity that is in the same direction as the yellow light. What pattern of spots will you now see on the screen? Agreen spot at 0°, yellow spots at +30° and —30°, and two blue spots slightly closer in. Solutions Manual 64, Apply Concepts Blue light of wavelength A passes through a single slit of width w. A diffraction pattern appears on a screen. If you now replace the blue light with a green light of wavelength 1.5A, to what width should you change the slit to get the original pattern back? The angle of diffraction depends on the ratio of slit width to wavelength. Thus, you would increase the width to 1.50.

Does diffraction limit your eyes’ sensi ability? Hypothesize as to what might be the limiting factors. No; a few hundred meters, not sever- al kilometers, is the limit. Diffraction doesn't limit the sensing ability of your eyes, More probable factors at the refractive effects of the atmos phere, like those that cause stars to twinkle, or the limitations of the reti- ha and the optic area of the brain to ‘separate two dim sources.
