3 Phys 14: College Physics Spring 21 1) 2 An oil film (n o = 1.4) floating on water (n w = 1.33) is illuminated by white light at nearly normal incidence. The film is 28 nm thick. a) What is the phase shift for the ray that reflects off the oil at A? 18, π or ½λ b) What is the phase shift for the ray that reflects off the oil at B? COLOR WAVELENGTH Violet 41 Blue 47 Green 55 Yellow 58 Orange 61 Red 66 no phase shift c) Explaining your work as you go, find the wavelength and identify the color of visible light that is most strongly enhanced. Since only one reflection has a phase shift, for them to constructively interfere they must be in n air = 1. A phase, so the path difference must be some odd number of half wavelengths: n oil = 1.4 n water = 1.33 Solving for λ: 2t λ = 1 m+ Calculate λ for various m s: B 2tnoil λ = = 4tn = 4 oil ( 28)( 1.4 ) = 1568nm 1 + 2tnoil λ = = tn = = nm 1 oil tnoil λ = = tn = = nm 2 oil λ 2t = m+ λ = m+ oil 2 2 noil Since the m = 1 value is the only one in the visible portion of the spectrum, λ = 523 nm = bluish green

What is the actual angle? Draw the normal, rays and light bulb and label the angles on the top diagram. b) Is there an angle where he can no longer see out of the water? Explain and find the angle if it exists. Draw the normal and rays and label the angles on the middle diagram. d) There is a light on the pump in the bottom corner of Toby s tank which he can see reflected off the top surface of the water. At what angle will the reflected light be totally polarized?

6 Phys 14: College Physics Spring 21 4) 2 A dentist holds a small mirror 1.9 cm from the surface of a patient s tooth. The image is upright and 5. times larger than the tooth. a) Is the image real or virtual? b) Where is the image located? c) Is the mirror convex or concave? What is its focal length? d) If the mirror is moved closer to the tooth, will the image get larger or smaller? e) For what range of object distances does the mirror produce an upright image? a) Since it s a real object and m is positive, q must be negative so the image is virtual. b) Find q from the magnification: q m = q = mp = ( 5)( 19. ) = 95. cm p So the image is 9.5 cm behind the mirror. c) To create a larger image, the mirror has to be concave so the focal length is positive and found from the image and object distances. ( 19. )( 95. ) pq = + f = = = cm f p q q+ p f is positive so it is, indeed, a concave mirror. d) The virtual image tells us that the object must be inside the focal length of the mirror. Solving the lens equation for q shows that inside the focal length, where p < f, as p gets smaller, p f gets larger, so the image will get SMALLER fp = q = q f p p f e) The mirror will produce an upright image when the object is inside the focal length so p must be between cm and 2.38 cm. p 2.38 cm Constants to know and love: k = 9 x 1 9 N-m 2 /C 2 G = 6.67 x 1-11 N-m 2 /kg 2 e = 1.6 x 1-19 C m e = 9.11 x 1 31 kg m p = 1.67 x 1 27 kg c = 3. x 1 8 m/s N A = 6.2 x 1 23 things/mole = 8.85 x 1-12 C 2 /N-m 2 μ = 4π x 1-7 T-m/A m n = u m p = u m e =.5486 u 1 u = MeV/c 2 c 2 = MeV/u 1 Ci =3 x 1 1 Bq
