1 Section 0.2: Single-Slit Diffraction Tutorial Practice, page 56. When light travels fro air to a ediu that is denser than air, such as ater, the light is refracted and the avelength of the light shortens. According to the equation! y L, λ is proportional to Δy, so hen λ is reduced, the central axiu ill also be reduced. So the central axiu ould be narroer if the equipent ere suberged in ater. 2.

If I double the avelength, λ, then the distance Δy ill also double. The angles of the axia and the inia ould be approxiately doubled. λ (b) If I ultiplied both the avelength, λ, and the slit idth,, in the equation Δ y L by 2, the 2s ill cancel each other out. Therefore, there ill be no effect on Δy. The interference pattern ill be the sae. 8. Blue light has an average avelength of 475 n, and green light has an average avelength of 50 n. If I replaced the blue light ith the green light, then I ould be increasing the avelength. Therefore, spacing of the intensity axia ould be greater. 9.

Or, I could use a ider aperture (size of slit) to increase the resolution. Hoever, the ider aperture ould reduce the depth of field (range of the focus).. I ould be able to resolve the double stars in Mizar ith the telescope because, in addition to enlarging the iage, the telescope s aperture is ider than the aperture in y eye. The ider aperture increases the resolution, alloing e to see the to stars. 2. In a double-slit interference pattern, there are ore intensity axia than in a single-slit interference pattern. In the double-slit interference pattern, there is less space beteen fringes because the second slit causes additional destructive interference. Copyright 202 Nelson Education Ltd.

Ansers ill vary based on presentation forat, but students should sho at least three iages to deonstrate the representative features of the three technologies. Hazards associated ith using high-poer lasers such as the lasers used in Blu-ray technology should be included. For exaple, if the laser is pointed at a person s eyes, that person s eyesight could be daaged. Section 0.3 Questions, page 525.

To be able to detect these portions of the electroagnetic spectru, the detectors have to be in space, above Earth s atosphere. Soe exaples of electroagnetic radiation fro space that does not reach Earth s surface are soe avelengths of infrared radiation fro distant objects, X-rays, and gaa rays. Additional inforation: All objects eit infrared radiation. To avoid interfering ith very faint astronoical objects eitting infrared radiation, the detectors (telescopes) need to be kept extreely cold. That is only possible in deep space. 0. Television correspondents in a distant part of the orld are so far aay that their responses are delayed due to the travel tie of the signal. There is also the tie required to process the signal..

Stateent: The kind of interference that results is constructive interference. (b) The signal is no being reflected fro , hich is exactly 23 avelengths. This is no destructive interference because the path difference is a hole-nuber ultiple of avelengths, and there is a 80 phase change fro the reflection. 2. Ansers ay vary. The report should explain ho an antenna converts electrical currents into electroagnetic radiation and that an antenna can be either a transitter or a receiver. The size of the antenna ill depend on the type of signals being transitted. For exaple, the avelengths of FM signals are 2 to 4. Generally, the length of the antenna should be about half the avelength of the radio aves you are trying to send or receive. Copyright 202 Nelson Education Ltd.

19 Understanding 34. (a), (b) Saple anser: In the diagra, rays 2 and 3 should both undergo a phase change, so rays 2 and 3 are 80 out of phase if t 2 λ. (a) Changing the avelength of the light ill result in varying aounts of reflection because each avelength of light has a different ideal thickness in the coating. (b) Changing the angle of incidence of the light ill result in varying aounts of reflection because the thickness of the coating is deterined ith the assuption that light hits the surface perpendicularly. 35. The path difference beteen these to reflected rays is 2t. 36. (a) Saple anser: A thin fil refers to a coating or fil applied to optical devices, such as lenses. The fil is so thin that it is not visible, coparable to the avelength of light or soe hole-nuber ultiple of the avelength of light. (b) To achieve optical interference, the thickness of the transparent fil should be approxiately zero, and the path length difference beteen rays reflected fro the top and botto surfaces is of the order of one avelength (or half of one avelength) of the ray of light. 37. Saple anser: In thick fils, the rays reflected fro both the botto and top surfaces of the fil ay not leave the surface at the sae location. This is due to the uch longer distance that the ray reflecting fro the botto surface has to travel, aking it ipossible to see interference effects. 38. Saple anser: As onochroatic light passes through a sall opening, the avelength of the light and the slit idth ill affect the angle of diffraction. A longer avelength of light ill diffract ore, and decreasing the size of the slit opening allos the light to diffract ore as ell. 39. No, the axia created by a diffraction grating do not all have the sae intensity. The central axiu is the brightest, and the axia becoe less intense as distance fro the centre increases. 40. Saple anser: FM radio aves have a shorter avelength than AM radio aves. Consequently, FM radio aves do not diffract as ell as the AM aves do around ountains or Earth s curvature, so FM aves lose reception before the AM aves. 4. Saple anser: Sound aves are copression longitudinal aves in a ediu. Radio aves are electroagnetic aves that do not need a ediu. Radio aves travel as electroagnetic aves at the speed of light through the air fro the copany s radio station to the personal radio device. The radio then plays a sound ave that reaches the listener s ear. Copyright 202 Nelson Education Ltd. Chapter 0: Applications of the Wave Nature of Light 0-3

20 42. Radio aves are transverse aves, ith the electric field in the sae plane, parallel to the antenna. If the receiving antenna is horizontal and the incident aves are vertically aligned, the charges in the antenna ill not be free to oscillate ith sufficient aplitude to hear a signal. 43. Saple anser: Optically active refers to transparent aterials that rotate the direction of polarized light. Very sall voltages can anipulate these aterials and create iages on a larger screen. Most digital atches, calculators, and cellphone displays ake use of polarizing filters and optically active aterials. 44. To tell hether or not a pair of sunglasses is polarized, I ould put on the glasses and tilt y head side to side. If the intensity of reflected glare changes as y head tilts, then the glasses are polarized. Alternatively, I could take to pairs of the sae glasses and hold the lenses perpendicular to each other. If all the light is blocked out, the glasses are polarized. Analysis and Application 45.

35 72. (a) The angle of reflection is 6.

(a) The shado is green because the shado is actually light that gets through the filter. The green light ust be polarized in one direction, and the red and blue light ust be polarized in the perpendicular direction. (b) If the student rotated the polarizer by 90, the green light ould be blocked and the red and blue light ould transit, producing a agenta shado. 74. The polarizer ill block out the light fro the glare, but not fro the bulb because the light fro the bulb is linearly polarized in all directions. The polarizer blocks a different orientation of light at each angle. Hoever, hen the light is reflected off the table s surface, ost of the reflected light is polarized in a certain direction. Making the polarizer perpendicular to the linearly polarized reflected light ill cancel this light entirely. 75.

Saple anser: The sentence is incorrect. The light intensity is zero at the point of contact of the to plates, folloed by seven alternating bright and dark fringes. 77. Ansers ay vary. Saple anser: My anser ould have three significant digits because the value provided for the avelength has three significant digits. The value for the nuber of lines on the diffraction grating has to significant digits, but that nuber is counted and therefore does not affect ho any significant digits I need to sho in y anser. 78. Ansers ay vary. Saple anser: The analogy is not accurate. The fence blocks all polarizations of the rope aves except those along the picket direction. Malus s la, hoever, says that soe light ill alays pass through a filter, unless the incident light is polarized at exactly 90 to the filter polarization. 79. Ansers ay vary. Saple anser: Publishing aterials on the Internet uses no paper and ink, benefiting the environent. If Internet access is free, as in libraries, it can reach ore people, hich benefits society.

37 Research 83. (a) Saple anser: The cuticle is the outer, non-cellular layer of a butterfly s exoskeleton. Scales are tiny overlapping pieces of chitin on a butterfly s ing, hich create the butterfly s colour. (b) Saple anser: Soe purposes of the colours of a butterfly are as follos: the colours function as a caouflage, absorb theral energy, help find a ate, and can act as a arning to potential predators. 84. (a) Saple anser: The advantage of binocular vision is that it allos the bald eagle to gauge distances precisely. (b) Saple anser: The fovea in eagles contain a uch higher concentration of sensory cells than the fovea in huans, giving eagles a ore detailed iage. Each eagle eye has to fovea, hereas each huan eye only has one. (c) Saple anser: Each eye of a bald eagle has to eyelids. The inner eyelid keeps the eye et and clear hile also shielding the eye. The eyebros of a bald eagle help protect the fro injury and help shield their eyes fro the Sun. The flexible lens of a bald eagle s eye is soft and can focus rapidly. This allos the eagle to quickly focus beteen near and far objects. 85. (a) The VLA stands at an elevation of 224. (b) There are 27 independent antennas present in the observatory. (c) The diaeter of one of the circular dishes is 25. (d) With the VLA, astronoers observe radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars, supernova renants, black holes, the Sun, radio-eitting stars, gaa ray bursts, other planets, astrophysical asers, and the hydrogen gas that akes up uch of our galaxy. (e) One advantage of receiving radio aves instead of other types of aves is that radio aves can penetrate clouds and are unaffected by rain, so it does not atter if it is cloudy or raining hen gathering radio signals. Radio aves are also unaffected by sunlight, so radio observatories can be used at night. 86. (a) QR stands for quick response. (b) QR codes originated in Japan, here they ere first used in the autootive industry. (c) Saple anser: QR codes can hold uch ore inforation than barcodes, such as ebsite links and text. They are also quick and easy to scan ith obile applications, such as cellphones. (d) Saple anser: A barcode is considered one-diensional because the bars are in a line and the laser scans the lines. The QR code is considered to-diensional and the sybols are not arranged in a line, so a laser cannot read the sybols. A digital caera ith the QR reader softare can be used to read the QR code. A laser is not needed to scan the code. 87. Ansers ay vary. Saple anser: Fessenden s ain ork as in the area called radiotelephony, in hich a changing sound signal is iposed, or odulated, onto an electroagnetic ave. The odern ireless telephone, or cellphone, is one of the ost recent and idespread exaples of radiotelephony. Copyright 202 Nelson Education Ltd.
