Question 1

Monochromatic light (λ = 500 nm) is incident on a soap bubble (n = 1.40). How thick is the bubble (in nm) if destructive interference occurs in the reflected light?

◦
102

◦
179

◦
54

◦
1

◦
89


Question 2

Ray says that interference effects cannot be observed with visible light because random phase changes occur in time intervals less than a nanosecond. Stacy says that doesn't matter if collimated light from a single source reaches multiple openings. (They are arguing about a light source 50.0 cm away from two 0.010 0 mm-wide slits, 2.00 mm apart, with a screen 1.00 m away from the slits.) Which one, if either, is correct, and why?

◦
Ray, because the phases at the two slits will be random and different.

◦
Ray, because it takes light over 3 ns to travel 1.00 m to the screen.

◦
Stacy, because the difference in time of travel from the source to the slits is no more than about 7 × 10−12 s.

◦
Stacy, but only if a lens is placed in front of the slits.

◦
Both, because interference of light never occurs outside a physics lab.

Did you know?

Hyperthyroidism leads to an increased rate of metabolism and affects about 1% of women but only 0.1% of men. For most people, this increased metabolic rate causes the thyroid gland to become enlarged (known as a goiter).

Fungal nail infections account for up to 30% of all skin infections. They affect 5% of the general population—mostly people over the age of 70.

Did you know?

Vampire bats have a natural anticoagulant in their saliva that permits continuous bleeding after they painlessly open a wound with their incisors. This capillary blood does not cause any significant blood loss to their victims.

The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day.

Did you know?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
