The dispersion curve of glass is the curve that describes how the index of refraction of
glass changes as a function of the wavelength. This curve can be represented
approximately by Cauchy's empirical equation, n = A + B/2² where for a specific glass
in question A = 1.40 and B = 2.5 × 10 nm² (yes, those units are nanometer squared).
Find the phase and group velocities for light of 500nm wavelength in that glass.
An X-ray beam of a wavelength 0.15 nm is incident on an NaCl crystal, at 25° to
reflecting planes of the crystal. If the first order reflections occurred in the spectrum, find
the spacing of the reflecting planes of the crystal.
(а) 0.18 pm
(b) 0.35 nm
(c) 0.18 nm
(d) 0.35 pm
If an X-ray beam of wavelength 1.4*10-10 m makes an angle of 20 degrees with a set of planes in a crystal causing first order constructive inference, at what angle will the second order line appear?
