Lecture 14: Chapters 34 (Young’s Double Slit) and Section 35-11 (Polarization)
Gone fishing, 1
To shoot a fish with a gun, how should you aim?
- aim directly at the image
- aim slightly above
- aim slightly below
Ans: C. Due to Snell's law, the fish looks higher than it really is.
Gone fishing, 2
To shoot a fish with a laser gun, how should you aim?
- aim directly at the image
- aim slightly above
- aim slightly below
Ans: A.
Superposition
Phase difference
The two waves shown are
out of phase by $\pi$.
out of phase by $\pi / 2$.
out of phase by $\pi / 4$.
- in phase.
Ans: B. One wavelength corresponds to $2\pi$. Quarter wave length difference here.
Young’s double slit experiment
An interference pattern is seen from two slits. Now, cover one slit with glass, introducing a phase difference of $\pi$ (180$^\circ$; half wavelength) at the slits. How is the pattern altered?
- pattern vanishes.
- pattern expands.
- bright and dark spots are interchanged.
- no change at all.
Ans: C. Oveall phase difference is what matters.
Young’s double slit experiment
In a double slit experiment, if the wavelength of the light is increased, the interference pattern will
- spread out.
- shrinks together.
- stays the same.
- disappears.
Ans: A. $d\sin \theta = m \lambda$.
