14:07:11 The power of the 20.5 cm lens is 1 / (.205 meters) = 4.87 m^-1 = 4.87 diopters. A positive focal length implies a converging lens, so this lens is converging. A lens with power -6.25 diopters has focal length 1 / (-6.25 m^-1) = -.16 m = -16 cm. The negative focal length implies a diverging lens.

14:07:23 STUDENT SOLUTION: To solve this problem, I used figure 23-51 in the text book to help me visualize the problem. The problem states that light is incident on an equilateral crown glass prism at a 45 degree angle at which light emerges from the oppposite face. Assume that n=1.52. First, I calculated the angle of refraction at the first surface. To do this , I used Snell's Law: n1sin'thea1=n2sin'thea2 I assumed that the incident ray is in air, so n1=1.00 and the problem stated that n2=1.52. Thus, 1.00sin45 degrees=1.52sin'theta2 'thea 2=27.7 degrees. Now I have determined the angle of incidence of the second surface('thea3). This was the toughest portion of the problem. To do this I had to use some simple rules from geometry. I noticed that the normal dashed lines onthe figure are perpendicular to the surface(right angle). Also, the sum of all three angles in an equilateral triangle is 180degrees and that all three angles in the equilateral triangle are the same. Using this information, I was able to calculate the angle of incidence at the second surface. I use the equation (90-'thea2)+(90-'thea3)+angle at top of triangle=180degrees. (90-27.7degrees)=62.3 degrees. Since this angle is around 60 degrees then the top angle would be approx. 60 degrees. ###this is the part of the problem I am a little hesitant about. Thus, 62.3 degrees+(90-'thea3)+60 degrees=180 degrees-'thea)=57.7degrees 'thea=32.3 degrees This is reasonable because all three angles add up to be 180 degrees.62.3+60.0+57.7=180degrees Now, I have determined that the angle of incidence at the second surface is 32.3 degrees, I can calculate the refraction at the second surface by using Snell's Law. Because the angles are parallel, nsin'thea3=n(air)sin''thea4 1.52sin32.3=1.00sin (thea4) 'thea 4=54.3 degrees INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: Looks great. Here's my explanation (I did everything in my head so your results should be more accurate than mine): Light incident at 45 deg from n=1 to n=1.52 will have refracted angle `thetaRef such that sin(`thetaRef) / sin(45 deg) = 1 / 1.52 so sin(`thetaRef) = .707 * 1 / 1.52 = .47 (approx), so that `thetaRef = sin^-1(.47) = 28 deg (approx). We then have to consider the refraction at the second face. This might be hard to understand from the accompanying explanation, but patient construction of the triangles should either verify or refute the following results: This light will then be incident on the opposing face of the prism at approx 32 deg (approx 28 deg from normal at the first face, the normals make an angle of 120 deg, so the triangle defined by the normal lines and the refracted ray has angles of 28 deg and 120 deg, so the remaining angle is 32 deg). Using Snell's Law again shows that this ray will refract at about 53 deg from the second face. Constructing appropriate triangles we see that the angle between the direction of the first ray and the normal to the second face is 15 deg, and that the angle between the final ray and the first ray is therefore part of a triangle with angles 15 deg, 127 deg (the complement of the 53 deg angle) so the remaining angle of 28 deg is the angle between the incident and refracted ray. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> equation 34.11 => (na/s) + (nb/s') = (nb-na)/R when s => infinity (images coming in at parallel to axis and converging on the other side of the lense), na/s => 0 and the same for when s' => infinity (images coming from focal point through lens and leaving at parallel to axis), nb/s' => 0 for each of these cases (based on the figures in the book) s=f and s'=f' respectively so that means, when s => 0 nb/f' = (nb-na)/R and when s' => 0 na/f = (nb-na)/R therefore na/f = nb/f' => na/nb = f/f'

15:06:52 ** The symbols s and s' are used in the diagrams in the chapter, including the one to which problem 62 refers. s is the object distance (I used o in my notes) and s' the image distance (i in my notes). My notation is more common that used in the text, but both are common notations. Using i and o instead of s' and s we translate the problem to say that f is the object distance that makes i infinite and f ' is the image distance that makes o infinite. For a spherical reflector we know that na / s + nb / s' = (nb - na ) / R (eqn 35-11 in your text, obtained by geometrical methods similar to those used for the cylindrical lens in Class Notes). If s is infinite then na / s is zero and image distance is s ' = f ' so nb / i = nb / f ' = (nb - na) / R. Similarly if s' is infinite then the object distance is s = f so na / s = na / f = (nb - na) / R. It follows that nb / f ' = na / f, which is easily rearranged to get na / nb = f / f'. THIS STUDENT SOLUTION WORKS TOO: All I did was solve the formula: na/s+nb/sprime=(nb-na)/R once for s and another time for sprime I took the limits of these two expressions as s and s' approached infinity. I ended up with f=-na*r/(na-nb) and fprime=-nb*r/(na-nb) when you take the ratio f/fprime and do a little algebra, you end up with f/fprime=na/nb **

15:07:23 **** univ phy How did you prove that f / s + f' / s' = 1?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> (R * na)/(s * (na - nb)) + (R * nb)/(s' * (na - nb)) = 1 f = (na * R)/(nb - na) f' = (nb * R)/(nb - na) by substituting, we get f/s + f'/s' = 1
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:07:35 ** We can do an algebraic solution: From nb / f ' = (nb - na) / R, obtained in a previous note, we get f ' = nb * R / (nb - na). From na / f = (nb - na) / R we get f = na * R / (nb - na). Rearranging na/s+nb/s'=(nb-na)/R we can get R * na / ( s ( na - nb) ) + R * nb / (s ' ( na - nb) ) = 1. Combining this with the other two relationships we get f / s + f ' / s / = 1. An algebraic solution is nice but a geometric solution is more informative: To get the relationship between object distance s and image distance s' you construct a ray diagram. Place an object of height h at to the left of the spherical surface at distance s > f from the surface and sketch two principal rays. The first comes in parallel to the axis, strikes the surface at a point we'll call A and refracts through f ' on the right side of the surface. The other passes through position f on the object side of the surface, encounters the surface at a point we'll call B and is then refracted to form a ray parallel to the axis. The two rays meet at a point we'll call C, forming the tip of an image of height h'. From the tip of the object to point A to point B we construct a right triangle with legs s and h + h'. This triangle is similar to the triangle from the f point to point B and back to the central axis, having legs f and h'. Thus (h + h') / s = h / f. This can be rearranged to the form f / s = h / (h + h'). From point A to C we have the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs s' and h + h'. This triangle is similar to the one from B down to the axis then to the f' position on the axis, with legs h and f'. Thus (h + h') / s' = h / f'. This can be rearranged to the form f' / s' = h' / (h + h'). If we now add our expressions for f/s and f'/s' we get f / s + f ' / s ' = h / (h + h') + h' / (h + h') = (h + h') / (h + h') = 1. This is the result we were looking for. **

15:12:54 General College Physics and Principles of Physics Problem 24.2: The third-order fringe of 610 nm light created by two narrow slits is observed at 18 deg. How far apart are the slits?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> -- skipped
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:12:56 The path difference for a 3d-order fringe is 3 wavelengths, so light from one slit travels 3 * 610 nm = 1830 nm further. The additional distance is equal to slit spacing * sin(18 deg), so using a for slit spacing we have a sin(18 deg) = 1830 nm. The slit spacing is therefore a = 1830 nm / sin(18 deg) = 5920 nm, or 5.92 * 10^-6 meters.

15:13:02 **** query gen phy problem 24.7 460 nm light gives 2d-order max on screen; what wavelength would give a minimum?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> -- skipped

......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:13:03 STUDENT SOLUTION FOLLOWED BY INSTRUCTOR COMMENT AND SOLUTION: The problem states that in a double-slit experiment, it is found that bule light of wavelength 460 nm gives a second-order maximun at a certain location on the screen. I have to determine what wavelength of visible light would have a minimum at the same location. To solve this problem I fist have to calculate the constructive interference of the second order for the blue light. I use the equation dsin'thea=m'lambda. m=2 (second order) dsin'thea=(2)(460nm) =920nm Now, I can determine the destructive interference of the other light, using the equation dsin'thea=(m+1/2)'lambda=(m+1/2)'lambda m+(0,1,2...) Now that I have calculated dsin'thea=920nm, I used this value and plugged it in for dsin'thea in the destructive interference equation.(I assumed that the two angles are equal) because the problem asks for the wavelength at the same location. Thus, 920nm=(m+1/2)'lambda. m=(0,1,2,...) I calculated the first few values for 'lambda. For m=0 920nm=(0+1/2)'lambda =1.84*10^nm For m=1 920nm=(1+1/2)'lambda =613nm For m=2 920nm=(2+1/2)'lambda=368 nm From these first few values, the only one of thes wavelengths that falls in the visible light range is 613nm. Therefore, this would be the wavelength of visible light that would give a minimum. INSTRUCTOR COMMENT AND SOLUTION: good. More direct reasoning, and the fact that things like sines are never needed: ** The key ideas are that the second-order max occurs when the path difference is 2 wavelengths, and a minimum occurs when path difference is a whole number of wavelengths plus a half-wavelength (i.e., for path difference equal to 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2, ... of a wavelength). We first conclude that the path difference here is 2 * 460 nm = 920 nm. A first-order minimum (m=0) would occur for a path difference of 1/2 wavelength. If we had a first-order minimum then 1/2 of the wavelength would be 920 nm and the wavelength would be 1860 nm. This isn't in the visible range. A minimum would also occur If 3/2 of the wavelength is 920 nm, in which case the wavelength would be 2/3 * 920 nm = 613 nm, approx.. This is in the visible range. A niminum could also occur if 5/2 of the wavelength is 920 nm, but this would give us a wavelength of about 370 nm, which is outside the visible range. The same would be the case for any other possible wavelength. **

15:14:02 **** query univ phy problem 35.52 (37.46 10th edition) normal 477.0 nm light reflects from glass plate (n=1.52) and interferes constructively; next such wavelength is 540.6 nm. How thick is the plate?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> we have to find a number of complete wavelengths of 477 nm light that will end at the same exact distance as a whole number of 540.6 nm light. each 477 wave is going to fall 63.6 nm short of the 540.6 nm wave. So since every 5 of the 540.6 waves gives us a whole number, we need to find out how many sets of 5 of the 540.6 waves will give us a total length that is divisible by 477. We find that the 3rd set of 5 540.6 waves (15 total) gives us a length of 8109 which is equal to 17 of the 477 nm wave. using n=1.52, we find that the distance is 8109/1.52 = 5335 nm
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:15:47 ** The path difference for constructive interference is an integer multiple of the wavelength. The path difference here is twice the thickness. Wavelengths in glass are 477 nm / 1.52 and 540.6 nm / 1.52. So we know that double the thickness is an integer multiple of 477 nm / 1.52, and also an integer multiple of 540.6 nm / 1.52. We need to find the first integer multiple of 477 nm / 1.52 that is also an integer multiple of 540.6 nm / 1.52. We first find an integer multiply of 477 that is also an integer multiply of 540.6. Integer multiples of 540.6 are 540.6, 1081.2, 1621.8, etc. Dividing these numbers by 477 we obtain remainders 63.6, 127.2, etc. When the remainder is a multiple of 477 then we have an integer multiple of 477 which is also an integer multiple of 540.6. SInce 477 / 63.6 = 8.5, we see that 2 * 477 / 63.6 = 17. So 17 wavelengths of 477 cm light is the first multiple that is equivalent to an integer number of wavelengths of 540.6 cm light. 17 * 477 = 8109. Since 8109 / 540.6 = 15, we see that 17 wavelengths of 477 nm light span the same distance as 15 wavelengths of 540.6 nm light. It easily follows that that 17 wavelengths of (477 nm / 1.52) light span the same distance as 15 wavelengths of (540.6 nm / 1.52) light. This distance is 17 * 477 nm / 1.52 = 5335 nm. This is double the thickness of the pane. The thickness is therefore pane thickness = 5335 nm / 2 = 2667 nm. IF INTERFERENCE WAS DESTRUCTIVE: n * 477 nm / 1.52 = (n-1) * 540.6 nm / 1.52, which we solve: Multiplying by 1.52 / nm we get 477 n = 540.6 n - 540.6 n * (540.6 - 477 ) = 540.6 n * 63.6 = 540.6 n = 540.6 / 63.6 = 8.5. This is a integer plus a half integer of wavelengths, which would result in destructive interference for both waves. Multiplying 8.5 wavelengths by 477 nm / 1.52 we get round-trip distance 2667 nm, or thickness 1334 nm. **

RESPONSE --> -- skipped
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:19:14 The respective indices of refraction for violet and red light in flint glass appear from the given graph to be about 1.665 and 1.620. The speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the index of refraction of that medium, so the ratio of the speed of red to violet light is the inverse 1.665 / 1.62 of the ratio of the indices of refraction (red to violet). This ratio is about 1.0028, or 100.28%. So the precent difference is about .28%. It would also be possible to figure out the actual speeds of light, which would be c / n_red and c / n_violet, then divide the two speeds; however since c is the same in both cases the ratio would end up being c / n_red / ( c / n_violet) = c / n_red * n_violet / c = n_violet / n_red, and the result would be the same as that given above.

......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> -- skipped
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:19:21 GOOD STUDENT SOLUTION We are given that the spectrum is from 400-750 nm. We are also given that the screen is 2.3 meters away and that the grating is 7500 lines/cm. To find this I will find where 400 nm wavelength falls on the screen and also where 750 nm wavelength falls onto the screen. Everything in between them will be the spectrum. I will use the formula... sin of theta = m * wavelength / d since these are first order angles m will be 1. since the grating is 7500 lines/cm, d will be 1/7500 cm or 1/750000 m. Sin of theta(400nm) = 1 * (4.0 * 10^-7)/1/750000 sin of theta (400nm) = 0.300 theta (400nm) = 17.46 degrees This is the angle that the 1st order 400nm ray will make. sin of theta (750nm) = 0.563 theta (750nm) = 34.24 degrees This is the angle that the 1st order 750 nm ray will make. We were given that the screen is 2.3 meters away. If we draw an imaginary ray from the grating to to the screen and this ray begins at the focal point for the rays of the spectrum and is perpendicular to the screen (I will call this point A), this ray will make two triangles, one with the screen and the 400nm angle ray and one with the screen and the 750 nm angle ray. Using the trigonomic function; tangent, we can solve for the sides of the triangles which the screen makes up. Tan of theta = opposite / adjacent tan of 34.24 degrees = opposite / 2.3 meters 0.6806 = opposite / 2.3 meters opposite = 1.57 meters tan of 17.46 degrees = opposite / 2.3 meters opposite = 0.72 meters So from point A to where the angle(400nm) hits the screen is 0.72 meters. And from point A to where the angle(750nm) hits the screen is 1.57 meters. If you subtract the one segment from the other one you will get the length of the spectrum on the screen. 1.57 m - 0.72 m = 0.85 meters is the width of the spectrum on the screen. CORRECTION ON LAST STEP: spectrum width = 2.3m * tan (31.33)) - 2.3m * tan (17.45) = 0.68m

......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:20:46 ** If you look at the phasor diagram for phi = 3 pi / 4 you will see that starting at any vector the fourth following vector is in the opposite direction. So every slit will interfere destructively with the fourth following slit. This is because 4 * 3 pi / 4 is an odd multiple of pi. The same spacing will give the same result for 5 pi / 4 and for 7 pi / 4; note how starting from any vector it takes 4 vectors to get to the antiparallel direction. For 6 pi / 4, where the phasor diagram is a square, every slit will interfere destructively with the second following slit. For phi = pi/4 you get an octagon. For phi = 3 pi / 4 the first vector will be at 135 deg, the second at 270 deg (straight down), the third at 415 deg (same as 45 deg, up and to the right). These vectors will not close to form a triangle. The fourth vector will be at 45 deg + 135 deg = 180 deg; i.e., horizontal to the left. The next two will be at 315 deg (down and toward the right) then 90 deg (straight up). The last two will be at 225 deg (down and to left) and 360 deg (horiz to the right). The resulting endpoint coordinates of the vectors, in order, will be -0.7071067811, .7071067811 -0.7071067811, -0.2928932188 0, 0.4142135623 -1, 0.4142135623 -0.2928932188, -0.2928932188 -0.2928932188, 0.7071067811 -1, 0 0, 0 For phi = 5 pi / 4 each vector will 'rotate' relative to the last at angle 5 pi / 4, or 225 deg. To check yourself the first few endpoints will be -0.7070747217, -0.7071290944; -0.7070747217, 0.2928709055; 0, -0.4142040038 and the final endpoint will again be (0, 0). For 6 pi / 4 you will get a square that repeats twice. For 7 pi / 4 you get an octagon. NEW PROBLEM: The longest wavelength is 700 nm and slit spacing is about 1250 nm. The path difference can't exceed the slit spacing, which is less than double the 700 nm spacine. So there are at most central max (path difference zero) and the first-order max (path difference one wavelength). Note that there will be a second-order max for wavelengths less than about 417 nm. **
