Light from a ruby laser (λ = nm) passes through a double slit with separation of 0.10 mm and then forms an interference pattern on a screen 2.5 meters away. How far or at what angle from the central maximum or bright spot is the next maximum or bright spot? We know the following: L = 2.5 m d = 0.10 mm = 1.0 x 10 4 m λ = nm = x 10 7 m We expect to find the first maximum at angle θ given by d sin θ = m λ with m = 1. d sin θ = m λ = λ d sin θ = λ sin θ = λ /d θ = 0.40 Realistically, however, it would be easier to measure the linear position of this first maximum. It is straightforward to use this to find the linear position, the y- value. The tangent of the angle θ is given by tan θ = y/l y = L tan θ y = (2.5 m) tan(0.398 ) y = (2.5 m)(6.943 x 10 7 ) y = 1.7 x 10 2 m y = 1.7 cm Notice that for such small angles the sine and the tangent are indistinguishable.

A colorful spectrum is seen. The angular separation between the red (λ = 700 nm) and blue (λ = 400 nm) parts of the spectrum is... We know the following: d = 1.0 x 10 5 m λ(red) = 700 nm = 7 x 10 7 m λ (blue) = 400 nm = 4 x 10 7 m For each color, we expect to find a bright area, or the first maximum, at angle θ given by d sin θ = m λ with m = 1. d sin θ = m λ = λ d sin θ = λ sin θ = λ /d For red, with λ(red) = 700 nm = 7 x 10 7 m, this is sin θred = 7 x 10 7 m / 1.0 x 10 5 m = 7 x 10 2 = 0.07 θred = 4.01 For blue, with λ(blue) = 400 nm = 4 x 10 7 m, this is sin θblue = 4 x 10 7 m / 1.0 x 10 5 m = 4 x 10 2 = 0.04 θblue = 2.29 The difference in these angles is θ = = 1.72 A) θ = = 16.1 B) θ = = 21.4 C) θ = = 8.1 D) θ = = 1.72 Key #3, p

The index of refraction of the soap and water solution is n = 1.4. What is the thickness of the soap bubble at this bright area? With air film air, there is a phase shift so we find a maximum or a bright area when the total distance traveled, 2t, is one half a wavelength (one-half of the wavelength inside the soap film), n = 1.0 t n = 1.4 n = 1.0 A) 0.62 x 10 7 m B) 1.23 x 10 7 m C) 1.73 x 10 7 m D) 2.46 x 10 7 m E) none of the above 2t = ( 1 /2) λ 2t = ( 1 /2) (λ/n) t = ( 1 /4) (λ/n) t = ( 1 /4) (560 nm/1.4) t = 100 nm t = 1.00 x 10 7 m The original solution was in error for this question so everyone s score has been increased by 4 points!
