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.

Question

In the lab, you want to use a spectrometer to study the emission spectrum of a gas. This device works by having the light go through a diffraction grating and then carefully measuring the angle at which the light exits the grating. The problem is that the grating that you have is not labeled, so you do not know the spacing. To calibrate the spectrometer, you send a HeNe laser (wavelength 632.8nm) through the grating and observe it to exit at an angle of 37.6° in the second order by this grating. (For obscure technical reasons, the first order is not observable.) Light from the gas is then measured to be deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?

Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through a slide and produces a pattern on a screen 24.0 cm distant, what range of sizes of the central maximum should be expected? Values outside this range might indicate a health concern and warrant further study.

10 mW of light is incident on a piece of GaAs which is 0.2mm thick. The incident light is a mixture of 5mW at λ1=1.553μm and 5mW at λ2=0.828μm. A total of 7mW mixed light exits out of the GaAs.

Information is stored on an audio compact disc, CD-ROM, or DVD disc in a series of pits on the disc. These pits are scanned by a laser beam. An important limitation on the amount of information that can be stored on such a disc is the width of the laser beam. Explain why this should be, and explain how using a shorter-wavelength laser allows more information to be stored on a disc of the same size. With which color of light can the Hubble Space Telescope see finer detail in a distant astronomical object: red, blue, or ultraviolet? Explain your answer.

A beam splitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light - half of the incident light is transmitted through the beam splitter, and half is reflected. Supposed we could make a beam splitter that reflects only 35% and transmits the other 65% (rather than 50/50).
