Principles of Physics and General College Physics Problem 23.08. How far from a concave mirror of radius 23.0 cm must an object be placed to form an image at infinity?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

focal point = r/2=23/2=11.5cm

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

22:08:44

Recall that the focal distance of this mirror is the distance at which the reflections of rays parallel to the axis of the mirror will converge, and that the focal distance is half the radius of curvature. In this case the focal distance is therefore 1/2 * 23.0 cm = 11.5 cm.

The image will be at infinity if rays emerging from the object are reflected parallel to the mirror. These rays would follow the same path, but in reverse direction, of parallel rays striking the mirror and being reflected to the focal point. So the object would have to be placed at the focal point, 11.5 cm from the mirror.

** if the lens was convex then its focal length would be negative, equal to half the radius. Thus we would have

1 / 2.2 cm + 1 / image distance = -1 / 1.7 cm.

Multiplying by the common denominator 1.7 cm * image distance * 1.7 cm we would get

1.7 cm * image distance + 2.2 cm * 1.7 cm = - 2.2 cm * image distance.

Thus

-3.9 cm * image distance = - 2.2 cm * 1.7 cm.

Solving would give us an image distance of about 1 cm.

Since magnification is equal to image distance / object distance the magnitude of the magnification would be less than .5 and we would not have a 4.5 x magnification.

We have the two equations

1 / image dist + 1 / obj dist = 1 / focal length and

| image dist / obj dist | = magnification = 4.5,

so the image distance would have to be either 4.5 * object distance = 4.5 * 2.2 cm = 9.9 cm or -9.9 cm.

If image dist is 9.9 cm then we have 1 / 9.9 cm + 1 / 2.2 cm = 1/f.

Mult by common denominator to get 2.2 cm * f + 9.9 cm * f = 2.2 cm * 9.9 cm so 12.1 cm * f = 21.8 cm^2 (approx) and f = 1.8 cm.

This solution would give us a radius of curvature of 2 * 1.8 cm = 3.6 cm, since the focal distance is half the radius of curvature.

This positive focal distance implies a concave lens, and the image distance being greater than the object distance the tooth will be more than the focal distance from the lens. For this solution we can see from a ray diagram that the image will be real and inverted. The positive image distance also implies the real image.

The magnification is - image dist / obj dist = (-9.9 cm) / (2.2 cm) = - 4.5, with the negative implying the inverted image whereas we are looking for a +4.5 magnification.

There is also a solution for the -9.9 m image distance. We eventually get 2.2 cm * f - 9.9 cm * f = 2.2 cm * (-9.9) cm so -7.7 cm * f = -21.8 cm^2 (approx) and f = 2.9 cm, approx.

This solution would give us a radius of curvature of 2 * 2.0 cm = 5.8 cm, since the focal distance is half the radius of curvature.

This positive focal distance also implies a concave lens, but this time the object is closer to the lens than the focal length. For this solution we can see from a ray diagram that the image will be virtual and upright. The negative image distance also implies the virtual image.

The magnification is - image dist / obj dist = -(-9.9 cm) / (2.2 cm) = + 4.5 as required; note that the positive image distance implies an upright image. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:10:48

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 -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:10:56

** 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 **

23:11:03

** 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. **

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.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I don't know.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:29:39

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. **

**** 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 -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:29:46

** 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 -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

23:29:53

STUDENT SOLUTION: The pure red band at m = 3 suggests that there exists interference between the wavelength of the red light and that of the other light. Since only the red light is present at m = 3 it stands to reason that the wavelength of the other light is a half of a wavelength behind the red wavelength so that when the wavelength of the red light is at its peak, the wavelength of the other light is at its valley. In this way the amplitude of the red light is at its maximum and the amplitude of the other light is at it minimum this explains why only the red light is exhibited in m = 3.

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT

At this point you've got it.

At the position of the m=3 maximum for the red light the red light from the further slit travels 3 wavelengths further than the light from the closer. The light of the unknown color travels 3.5 wavelengths further. So the unknown wavelength is 3/3.5 times that of the red, or 600 nm.
