Concept explainers

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

A microwave dinner has the instructions listed below. In this problem, you will explain how following the instructions affect the heat transfer into the meal. The meal starts off frozen, and is covered with a thin piece of plastic "film" or covering when it is taken out of the box. The vegetables are separate from the beef and potatoes.) Instructions: 1. Cut slit in film over vegetables. 2 Microwave on high 4 minutes. 3. Turn bock film from beef and potatoes. Stir beef and potatoes. Replace film. Return tray to microwave oven. 4. Microwave on high 3 minutes. 5. Let stand 2 minutes in microwave oven. Stir beef and potatoes. a. How does each of the steps above (cut slit in film, stir beef and potatoes, etc) affect the heat transfer to the food? Make sure to consider conduction, convection, and radiation where appropriate. b. The instructions ask you to stir the beef and potatoes, but not the vegetables. From this, what can you tell about how each type of food receives and transfers heat?…
In experiments with his interferometer, Michelson found that the red cadmium line at λ=643.8nm produced fringes until one of the arms of the interferometer was moved 25cm from initially being at the coincidence or equal path length position. a.

1. a. If a piece of glass (n = 1.5) is coated with a transparent plastic (n = 2.0), will there be a phase shift in either of the beams reflecting off the interfaces (air/plastic and plastic/glass)? How can you tell, without doing the experiment, whether or not there will be a phase shift in either beam? Be specific about what rays are reflecting off what materials. b. So what thickness or thicknesses give the maximum reflection? What thickness or thicknesses (hint: it's thicknesses) give the minimum reflection? Assume that a light of wavelength 500. nm is used, and you may leave the answer in nm. Yes, this is a choice between equations 35.17 and 35.18, but your answer to part a should be helpful in deciding which set.
