- Two beams of light start together and then hit a slab of two different kinds of material. This will cause one of the beams to get "ahead" of the other; that is, one will emerge from the slab sooner than the other. The beams have a wavelength of 570 nm outside the slabs, and the slab is d=2.3 μm thick. If the top half of the slab has index of refraction 1.79 and the bottom has index 1.39, by what time interval will one of the beams be ahead of the other once they've gone through the slab?arrow_forwardA beam of initially unpolarized light of intensity 227 W/m^2 passes through a series of polarizing filters, each one's axis aligned at a 11.1-degree angle with respect to the previous filter s axis.

- Problem 1: You want to test a special watertight monochromatic light source in an un- derwater environment. If the light source shines its beam of electromagnetic radiation into your eyes when you and the light source are above the water, with both your eyes and the light source immersed in air, the beam appears to your eyes to have a deep violet color. The index of refraction of water is about 1.33 What color, if any, would your eyes perceive the beam to have when you and the light source are submerged in water – and why? (A) No color. The beam would become invisible under water because its wavelength in water is shorter than in air, corresponding to a wavelength of ultra-violet light. The beam's wavelength in the water determines its visibility to the eye under water, and ultra-violet light is not visible to the human eye. (B) Same color as in air, above the water, i.e., deep violet. Under water, the beam would have the same wavelength as in air. The beam's wavelength in the water…arrow_forwardA system of three polarizing sheets is placed in the path of initially unpolarized light.
