Concept explainers

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Unreasonable Results To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a non-reflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
A film of' oil on a puddle in a parking lot shows a variety of bright colors in swirled patches. What can you say about the thickness of the oil film? (a) It is much less than the wavelength of visible light. (b) It is on the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of visible light. (c) It is much greater than the wavelength of visible light. (d) It might have any relationship to the wavelength of visible light.

A pure red object on a black background seems to disappear when illuminated with pure green light. Explain why.

When you look into a pool of water, the depth looks less than it actually is because of a. refraction. b. polarization. c. interference. d. diffraction. e. specular reflection.
Why light is said to have a dual nature? a. It exhibits the properties of wave and particles. b. It exhibits the properties of reflection and diffraction. c. It has both interference and polarization effect. d. None of the above
Which of the following is TRUE regarding reflection and refraction? a. Reflection can be explained by the particle nature of light while refraction cannot. b. Refraction can be explained by the wave nature of light while reflection cannot. c. Reflection and refraction can be explained by both the wave and particle nature of light. d. Reflection and refraction can only be explained by the wave nature of light. The perception of color does not correspond to a unique set of wavelengths. The human eye distinguishes several hundreds of colors and shades. The eye has only three separate types of visual signals. So the different signal perceptions of colors are combinations of these three visual signals. Perception of colors depends upon the relative stimulation of the three color sensitive cells in the retina of the eye. What are the requirements for perceiving colors? a. Eye and light b. Eye, object, and light c. Eye, light, and shadow d. Eye, light, and medium
Choose the best answer from the options that follow each question.

O b. equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the component waves. c. equal to zero. d. greater than the amplitude of either of the component waves.
