3 . Bright and Dark Patterns To very narro slits are cut close to each other in a large piece of cardboard. They are illuminated by monochromatic red light. A sheet of hite paper is placed far from the slits, and a pattern of bright and dark bands is seen on the paper. Describe ho a ave behaves hen it encounters a slit, and explain hy some regions are bright hile others are dark. When a ave encounters a slit, the ave bends. ight is diffracted by the slits. ight from one slit interferes ith light from the other.

Critical Thinking You are shon a spectrometer, but do not kno hether it produces its spectrum ith a prism or a grating. By looking at a hite-light spectrum, ho could you tell? Determine if the violet or the red end of the spectrum makes the largest angle ith the direction of the beam of incident hite light.

(9.) When monochromatic light is used, you get a sharp interference pattern; if you use hite light, you get sets of colored bands. 33. Explain hy the position of the central bright band of a double-slit interference pattern cannot be used to determine the avelength of the light aves. (9.)

7 Copyright Glencoe/McGra-Hill, a division of The McGra-Hill Companies, Inc. Chapter 9 continued When the light strikes the front of the film, some reflects off this surface and some passes through the film and reflects off the back surface of the film. When light reflects off a medium ith a higher index of refraction, it undergoes a phase shift of one-half avelength; this happens to the light that initially reflects. In order for a dark band to be produced, the to light rays must be one-half avelength out of phase. If the thickness of the film is such that the ray reflecting off the back surface goes through a hole number of cycles hile passing through the film, the light rays arriving at your eye ill be out of phase and destructively interfere. Remember that the avelength is altered by the index of refraction of the film, so that the thickness of the film must equal a multiple of half a avelength of the light, divided by the film s index of refraction. 36. White light shines through a diffraction grating. Are the resulting red lines spaced more closely or farther apart than the resulting violet lines? Why? (9.2) The spacing is directly proportional to the avelength, and because red light has a longer avelength than violet, the red lines ill be spaced farther apart than the violet lines. 37. Why do diffraction gratings have large numbers of slits? Why are these slits so close together? (9.2) The large number of grooves in diffraction gratings increases the intensity of the diffraction patterns. The grooves are close together, producing sharper images of light. 38. Why ould a telescope ith a small diameter not be able to resolve the images of to closely spaced stars? (9.2) Small apertures have large diffraction patterns that limit resolution. 39. For a given diffraction grating, hich color of visible light produces a bright line closest to the central bright band? (9.2) violet light, the color ith the smallest avelength Applying Concepts page For each of the folloing examples, indicate hether the color is produced by thin-film interference, refraction, or the presence of pigments. a. soap bubbles interference b. rose petals pigments c. oil films interference d. a rainbo refraction 4. Ho can you tell hether a pattern is produced by a single slit or a double slit? A double-slit interference pattern consists of equally spaced lines of almost equal brightness. A single-slit diffraction pattern has a bright, broad central band and dimmer side bands. 42. Describe the changes in a single-slit diffraction pattern as the idth of the slit is decreased. The bands get ider and dimmer. 43. Science Fair At a science fair, one exhibition is a very large soap film that has a fairly consistent idth. It is illuminated by a light ith a avelength of 432 nm, and nearly the entire surface appears to be a lovely shade of purple. What ould you see in the folloing situations? a. the film thickness as doubled complete destructive interference b. the film thickness as increased by half a avelength of the illuminating light complete constructive interference Physics: Principles and Problems Solutions Manual 405

8 c. the film thickness as decreased by one quarter of a avelength of the illuminating light complete destructive interference 44. What are the differences in the characteristics of the diffraction patterns formed by diffraction gratings containing 0 4 lines/cm and 0 5 lines/cm? The lines in the diffraction pattern are narroer for the 0 5 lines/cm grating. 45. aser Pointer Challenge You have to laser pointers, a red one and a green one. Your friends Mark and Carlos disagree about hich has the longer avelength. Mark insists that red light has a longer avelength, hile Carlos is sure that green has the longer avelength. You have a diffraction grating handy. Describe hat demonstration you ould do ith this equipment and ho you ould explain the results to Carlos and Mark to settle their disagreement. Shine each laser pointer through the grating onto a nearby all. The color ith the longer avelength ill produce dots ith a greater spacing on the all because the spacing is directly proportional to the avelength. (Mark is correct; red light has a longer avelength than green light.) 46.

A green spot at 0, yello spots at 30 and 30, and to blue spots slightly closer in. 63. Apply Concepts Blue light of avelength passes through a single slit of idth. A diffraction pattern appears on a screen. If you no replace the blue light ith a green light of avelength.5, to hat idth should you change the slit to get the original pattern back? The angle of diffraction depends on the ratio of slit idth to avelength.

Does diffraction limit your eyes sensing ability? Hypothesize as to hat might be the limiting factors. No; a fe hundred meters, not several kilometers, is the limit. Diffraction doesn t limit the sensing ability of your eyes. More probable factors are the refractive effects of the atmosphere, like those that cause stars to tinkle, or the limitations of the retina and the optic area of the brain to separate to dim sources.
