The diffraction phenomenon can be observed whenever the wavelength is comparable in magnitude to the size of the slit opening. To be “diffracted,” how fast must a person weighing 84 kg move through a door 1 m wide?

Concept explainers

Compton effect

The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.

Recoil Velocity

The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.

In a modified Young's double slit experiment, a monochromatic uniform and parallel beam of light of wavelength 6000 A and intensity (10/) Wm2 is incident normally on two apertures A and B of radii 0.001 m and 0.002 m respectively. A perfectly transparent film of thickness 2000 A and refractive index 1.5 for the wavelength of 6000A is placed in front of aperture A (see figure). Calculate the power (in W) received at the focal spot F of the lens. The lens is symmetrically placed with respect to the apertures. Assume that 10% of the power received by each aperture goes in the original direction and is brought to the focal spot.
Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, thin object, such as a strand of hair. In that case, a is the width of the strand. From actual lab measurements on a human hair, it was found that when a beam of light of wavelength 632.8nm was shone on a single strand of hair, and the diffracted light was viewed on a screen 1.25m away, the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright spot were 5.22cm apart. How thick was this strand of hair?
