A laser beam of wavelength 670 nm shines through a diffraction grating that has 750 lines/mm. Sketch the pattern that appears on a screen 1.0 m behind the grating, noting distances on your drawing and explaining where these numbers come from.

6. Light travels from air and enters into an equilateral triangular glass (index of refraction of 1.52) at an angle of incidence of 40°. Trace the path of the ray of light from one side of the prism to the other. Indicate where to measure the angles of incidence and refraction, and angle of deviation.
The experiment described in question 2 above is performed, but this time, a strip of transparent plastic is
placed over the left slit. Its presence changes the interference between light waves from the two slits,
causing the interference pattern to be shifted across the screen from the original pattern. Explain, clearly
but briefly, which way (right or left) the original pattern shifts and why this shift occurs.

- 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 red laser, shining on a double slit, creates the pattern shown in the figure below at the center of a screen placed 1.90 m on the opposite side of the double slit from the laser. If the laser wavelength is 632 nm, what is the distance between the two slits in the double slit? (NOTE: final answer should be in units of nm) Thank you in advanced for the help!arrow_forwardBased on the experiment below, how will I identify the refractive index using the graph? At the middle of a paper protractor, set a crown glass plate. Shine a laser pointer on the side of the glass plate. After that, identify the normal to the incident ray. Then, measure the angle of refraction of each of the following angles of incidence: 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°. On a graph, plot the sine of the angle of incidence versus the sine of the angle of refraction. Using this graph, identify the refractive index of glass and compute the percentage error of the index of refraction.arrow_forward

The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown. a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass. b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.arrow_forwardIn order to calculate the refractive index of a certain glass a young engineering student decided to build an apparatus, as shown in the picture below. Basically he took two mirrors of equal thickness t and focused a beam as indicated. After passing through a lens, a pattern is formed on a bulkhead ahead. How was the student able to estimate the index of refraction?A) by changing the distance between the mirrors we change the pattern into light and dark bands B) by using the apparatus described there is no way to determine the refractive index of glass C) by changing the distance between the mirrors and the screen (or laser) the pattern changes into light and dark bands D) in the screen we will have an interference pattern similar to a double slit where we have a central maximum and other maximums relating to different reflections of the mirrorarrow_forward
