- The photo is a microscopic look at the surface of a reflective compact disk (CD), circa 2004. The tiny carved dashes and dots are digital encoded data, usually music. But the spacing of the dashes and dots have an interesting side effect: they will selectively re-enforce the reflection of some colors, while suppressing other colors. This made CD's very colorful, without the need for pigment. What concept BEST explains what is creating the colors reflected from CD's? a.refraction b. relativity c. interference d. polarization e. diffractionarrow_forwardThe phenomenon of several light waves interfering with one another under particular conditions, causing the combined amplitudes of the waves to either rise or decrease, is known as light interference. Which of the following is NOT a condition for interference to occur? The light waves should have the same frequency. The source of light must be monochromatic (one color). The direction of the waves should be opposite each other. The amplitudes of the waves should be the same.arrow_forwardAccording to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, humans have cell receptors called "cones" in their retina that have peak sensitivities in the Red, Green and Blue wavelength ranges. When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material. Which TWO of the following statements are correct? Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary for photosynthesis. If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve. Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by white light, the green…arrow_forward
- 10. Three polarizing disks have planes that are parallel and centered on a common axis. The direction of the transmission axis (dashed line) in each case is shown relative to the common vertical direction. A polarized beam of light (with its axis of polarization parallel to the horizontal reference direction) is incident from the left on the first disk with intensity S, = 820 W/m2.

The most relevant reason is that the eye is insensitive to fluctuations in intensity that occur at those frequencies. there is no convenient means of setting up the conditions for standing waves. the eye cannot resolve a pattern with that spacing. Hold it! In principle, light is not capable of producing standing waves.arrow_forwardA beam of light is incident at 30° on a piece of glass in air.
