Reflective Coatings and Herring. Herring and related fish have a brilliant silvery appearance that camouflages them while they are swimming in a sunlit ocean. The silveriness is due to platelets attached to the surfaces of these fish. Each platelet is made up of several alternating layers of crystalline guanine and of cytoplasm ( the same as water), with a guanine layer on the outside in contact with the surrounding water (Fig. P35.56). In one typical platelet, the guanine layers are 74 nm thick and the cytoplasm layers are 100 nm thick. (a) For light striking the platelet surface at normal incidence, for which vacuum wavelengths of visible light will all of the reflections and shown in Fig. P35.56, be approximately in phase? If white light is shone on this platelet, what color will be most strongly reflected (see Fig. 32.4)? The surface of a herring has very many platelets side by side with layers of different thickness, so that all visible wavelengths are reflected. (b) Explain why such a stack of layers is more reflective than a single layer of guanine with cytoplasm underneath. (A stack of five guanine layers separated by cytoplasm layers reflects more than 80% of incident light at the wavelength for which it is tuned.) (c) The color that is most strongly reflected from a platelet depends on the angle at which it is viewed. Explain why this should be so. (You can see these changes in color by examining a herring from different angles. Most of the platelets on these fish are oriented in the same way, so that they are vertical when the fish is swimming.)

Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque sheet of film. When a monochromatic beam of light is shone through them at normal incidence, the first bright fringes in the transmitted light occur in air at \(\pm 18.0^{\circ}\) with the original direction of the light beam on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid, the same bright fringes now occur at \(\pm 12.6^{\circ}\). Find the index of refraction of the liquid.

Red light with wavelength 700 nm is passed through a two-slit apparatus. At the same time, monochromatic visible light with another wavelength passes through the same apparatus. As a result, most of the pattern that appears on the screen is a mixture of two colors; however, the center of the third bright fringe of the red light appears pure red, with none of the other color. What are the possible wavelengths of the second type of visible light? Do you need to know the slit spacing to answer this question? Why or why not?

If white light is shone on this platelet, what color will be most strongly reflected (see Fig. The surface of a herring has very many platelets side by side with layers of different thickness, so that all visible wavelengths are reflected. (b) Explain why such a "stack" of layers is more reflective than a single layer of guanine with cytoplasm underneath. (A stack of five guanine layers separated by cytoplasm layers reflects more than of incident light at the wavelength for which it is "tuned.") (c) The color that is most strongly reflected from a platelet depends on the angle at which it is viewed. Explain why this should be so. (You can see these changes in color by examining a herring from different angles. Most of the platelets on these fish are oriented in the same way, so that they are vertical when the fish is swimming.) Equation transcription: Text transcription: R{1}, R{2}, R{3}, R{4} R{5}

Problem 57P Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque sheet of film. When a monochromatic beam of light is shone through them at normal incidence, the first bright fringes in the transmitted light occur in air at ± 18.0° with the original direction of the light on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid, the same bright fringes now occur at ±12.6°. Find the index of refraction of the liquid.

Problem 58P Red light with wavelength 700 nm is passed through a two-slit apparatus. At the same time, monochromatic visible light with another wavelength passes through the same apparatus. As a result, most of the pattern that appears on the screen is a mixture of two colors; however, the center of the third bright fringe (m = 3) of the red light appears pure red, with none of the other color. What are the possible wavelengths of the second type of visible light? Do you need to know the slit spacing to answer this question? Why or why not?

In a Young's two-slit experiment a piece of glass with an index of refraction and a thickness is placed in front of the upper slit. (a) Describe qualitatively what happens to the interference pattern. (b) Derive an expression for the intensity of the light at points on a screen as a function of , and Here is the usual angle measured from the center of the two slits. That is, determine the equation analogous to Eq. (35.14) but that also involves and for the glass plate. (c) From your result in part (b) derive an expression for the values of that locate the maxima in the interference pattern [that is, derive an equation analogous to Eq. (35.4)].

After a laser beam passes through two thin parallel slits, the first completely dark fringes occur at \(\pm 19.0^{0}\) with the original direction of the beam, as viewed on a screen far from the slits. (a) What is the ratio of the distance between the slits to the wavelength of the light illuminating the slits? (b) What is the smallest angle, relative to the original direction of the laser beam, at which the intensity of the light is \(\frac{1}{10}\) the maximum intensity on the screen?

Problem 61CP CP The index of refraction of a glass rod is 1.48 at T = 20.0oC and varies linearly with temperature, with a coefficient of 2.50 × 10-5/Co. The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is 5.00 × 10-6/Co. At 20.0oC the length of the rod is 3.00 cm. A Michelson interferometer has this glass rod in one arm, and the rod is being heated so that its temperature increases at a rate of 5.00 Co/min. The light source has wavelength ? = 589 nm, and the rod initially is at T = 20.0oC. How many fringes cross the field of view each minute?

CP Figure P35.62 shows an interferometer known as Fresnel’s biprism. The magnitude of the prism angle A is extremely small. (a) If \(S_{0}\) is a very narrow source slit, show that the separation of the two virtual coherent sources \(S_{1}\) and \(S_{2}\) is given by d = 2aA(n - 1), where n is the index of refraction of the material of the prism. (b) Calculate the spacing of the fringes of green light with wavelength 500 nm on a screen 2.00 m from the biprism. Take a = 0.200 m, A = 3.50 mrad}, and n = 1.50.
