Physics Question

  1. Show that when light passes from air to water, its wavelength decreases to 0.750 times its original value.

  1. Find the range of visible wavelengths of light in crown glass.

  1. What is the index of refraction of a material for which the wavelength of light is 0.671 times its value in a vacuum? Identify the likely substance.

  1. At what angle is the first-order maximum for 450-nm wavelength blue light falling on double slits separated by 0.0500 mm?

  1. Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.

  1. What is the separation between two slits for which 610-nm orange light has its first maximum at an angle of 300?

  1. Find the angle for the third-order maximum for 580-nm-wavelength yellow light falling on a diffraction grating having 1500 lines per centimeter.

  1. The headlights of a car are 1.3 m apart. What is the maximum distance at which the eye can resolve these two headlights? Take the pupil diameter to be 0.40 cm.

  1. The yellow light from a sodium vapor lamp seems to be of pure wavelength, but it produces two first-order maxima at and  when projected on a 10,000 line per centimeter diffraction grating. What are the two wavelengths to an accuracy of 0.1 nm?
