An object is to be placed at a point P on a line l, parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on, so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. a) Find an expression for the intensity l(x) at the point P. b) If d = 5m, use graphs of l(x) and l'(x) to show that the intensity is minimized when x = 5m, that is, when P is at the midpoint of l. c) If d = 10m, show that the intensity (perhaps surprisingly) is not minimized at the midpoint. d) Somewhere between d = 5m and d = 10m there is a transitional value of d at which the point of minimal illumination abruptly changes. Estimate this value of d by graphical methods. Then find the exact value…arrow_forward
- ..54 Dispersion in a window pane. In gle e Fig. 33-54, a beam of white light is incident at an- 50° on a common window pane (shown in cross section). For the pane's type of glass, the index of refraction for visible light ranges from 1.524 at the blue end of the spectrum to 1.509 at the red end. The two sides of the pane are paral- lel. What is the angular spread of the colors in the beam (a) when the light enters the pane and (b) when it emerges from the opposite side? (Hint: When you look at an object through a window pane, are the colors the light from the object dispersed as shown in, say, Fig. 33-20?) = Ꮎ Figure 33-54 Problem 54.arrow_forward10.
