- A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, it takes the light 8.72 ns to travel the length of the tube, but when the tube is filled with a transparent jelly, it takes the light 2.04 ns longer to travel its length. What is the refractive index of the jelly? NOTE: The final answer should be 1.23.arrow_forwardAn advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50). To acquire data from memory, the central processing unit sends a light-pulse request to the memory unit. The memory unit processes the request, then sends a data pulse back to the central processing unit. The memory unit takes 0.50 ns toprocess a request. If the information has to be obtained from memory in 2.00 ns, what is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?arrow_forwardA plastic lens is coated on the outside with a thin film of graphene to prevent the transmission of UV light with wavelength, λ = 250 nm from the lens surface.

- There is a thin layer of acetone on the surface of the glass plate. The light, the wavelength of which can be adjusted, strikes perpendicular to the surface of the plate. The film does not reflect light at a wavelength of 600.0 nm, and the intensity of the reflected light has a maximum at a wavelength of 700.0 nm. Calculate the thickness of the acetone layer.

To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0015 W to reach an intensity of I = 350 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.15 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011 m when it enters the lens.Randomized VariablesP = 0.0015 WI = 350 W/cm2f = 0.15 mr = 0.0011 m Part (a) Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities.

- The Michelson interferometer can be used to measure the index of refraction of a gas by placing an evacuated transparent tube in the light path along one arm of the device. Fringe shifts occur as the gas is slowly added to the tube. Assume 580-nm light is used, the tube is 5.40 cm long, and 152 fringe shifts occur as the pressure of the gas in the tube increases to atmospheric pressure. What is the index of refraction of the gas? Hint: The fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas-filled tube.
