- Integrated Concepts (a) During laser vision correction, at brief burst at 193 nm ultraviolet light is projected onto the cornea of the patient. It makes a spot 1.00 mm in diameter and deposits 0.500 mJ of energy. Calculate the depth of the layer ablated, assuming the corneal tissue has the same properties as water and is initially at 34.0°C. The tissue’s temperature is increased to 100°C and evaporated without further temperature increase. (b) Does your answer imply that the shape of the cornea can be ?nely controlled?arrow_forwardYoungs double-slit experiment underlies the instrument landing system used to guide aircraft to safe landings at some airports when the visibility is poor. Although real systems are more complicated than the example described here, they operate on the same principles. A pilot is trying to align her plane with a runway as suggested in Figure P27.2. Two radio antennas (the black dots in the figure) are positioned adjacent to the runway, separated by d = 40.0 m. The antennas broadcast unmodulated coherent radio waves at 30.0 MHz. The red lines in Figure P27.2 represent paths along which maxima in the interference pattern of the radio waves exist. (a) Find the wavelength of the waves. The pilot locks onto the strong signal radiated along an interference maximum and steers the plane to keep the received signal strong. If she has found the central maximum, the plane will have precisely the correct heading to land when it reaches the runway as exhibited by plane A. (b) What If? Suppose the plane is flying along the first side maximum instead as is the case for plane B. How far to the side of the runway centerline will the plane be when it is 2.00 km from the antennas, measured along its direction of travel? (c) It is possible to tell the pilot that she is on the wrong maximum by sending out two signals from each antenna and equipping the aircraft with a two-channel receiver. The ratio of the two frequencies must not be the ratio of small integers (such as 34). Explain how this two-frequency system would work and why it would not necessarily work if the frequencies were related by an integer ratio.arrow_forwardX-rays incident on a crystal with planes of atoms located 0.378 nm apart produce a diffraction pattern in which a first-order maximum is observed at an angle of 14.2. a.
