2. Treat each of your eyes as a circular aperture of diameter 3.5 mm. Light of wavelength 625 nm is used to view two point sources that are 10.5 cm apart. How far distance can these sources be and still be marginally resolved by your eye? Assume that the resolution is diffraction limited and use Rayleigh's criterion, and the index of refraction of the fluid in the eye is 1.35.

3. A Michelson interferometer uses light with a wavelength of 562.446 nm. Mirror M2 is slowly moved a distance x, causing exactly 4.7200×102 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts to be observed starting and ending with a central bright spot. If the mirror moved only half the distance, what would the final image be?

a. Bright spot

b. Dark spot

c. In between bright and dark spots

d. Impossible to determine, more information needed

Laser light of wavelength 625 nm is incident on a circular aperture which has a diameter of 0.063 mm. A diffraction pattern is observed on a screen which is placed 53 cm from the aperture. Give your answer to at least three significant figures. Answer must be accurate to 1%. 1.)What is the diffraction angle, θ, of the first diffraction minimum? 2.)What is the distance, on the screen, from the center of the central bright spot to the first dark...

Monochromatic light is beamed into a Michelson interferometer. The movable mirror is displaced 0.382 mm, causing the central spot in the interferometer pattern to change from bright to dark and back to bright N = 1,700 times. (a) Determine the wavelength of the light in nm What color is it?

Suppose a transparent vessel 25.0 cm long is placed in one arm of a Michelson interferometer. The vessel initially contains air at 0° C and 1.00 atm. With light of vacuum wavelength 630 nm, the mirrors are arranged so that a bright spot appears at the center of the screen. As air is slowly pumped out of the vessel, one of the mirrors is gradually moved to keep the center region of the screen bright. The distance the mirror moves...

If mirror M 2 in a Michelson interferometer (see figure) is moved through 0.231 mm, a shift of 782 bright fringes occurs. What is the wavelength of the light producing the fringe pattern? (Give your answer in decimal with zero digit after the decimal point, using "nm" (nano meter) as unit).

The resolution of a lens can be estimated by treating the lens as a circular aperture. The resolution is the smallest distance between two point sources that produce distinct images. This is similar to the resolution of a single slit, related to the distance from the middle of the central bright band to the firstorder dark band; however, the aperture is circular instead of a rectangular slit which introduces a scale factor. Suppose the Hubble Space Telescope, 2.4 m in...

You see a light approaching you from a distance on the highway. Is it a motorcycle (one light) or a car (two lights)? You may assume the air is perfectly clear and still, and the headlights emit exclusively blue light (λ = 475 nm). Assume your pupil (the aperture of your eye) is 5 mm in diameter. If a car with two blue headlights that are separated by 1.5 meters is approaching you, at what maximum distance could you still...
