28.Line Spacing You shine a red laser light through

one diffraction grating and form a pattern of red dots
on a screen. Then you substitute a second diffraction
grating for the first one, forming a different pattern.
The dots produced by the first grating are spread out
more than those produced by the second. Which

used to make the interference pattern in the doubleslit experiment?
SOLUTION:
When monochromatic light is used, you get a
sharp interference pattern; if you use white
light, you get sets of colored bands.
32.Explain why the position of the central bright band of
a double-slit interference pattern cannot be used to

34.Describe in your own words what happens in thinfilm interference when a colored band is produced by
light shining on a soap film suspended in air. Make
sure you include in your explanation how the
wavelength of the light and the thickness of the film
are related.
SOLUTION:
When the light strikes the front of the film,
some reflects off this surface and some passes
through the film and reflects off the back
surface of the film. When light reflects off a
medium with a higher index of refraction, it
undergoes a phase shift of one-half wavelength;
this happens to the light that initially reflects. In
order for a colored band to be produced, two
light rays must be in phase. If the thickness of
the film is such that the ray reflecting off the
back surface goes through a multiple of half of a
cycle while passing through the film, the light
rays arriving at your eye will be in phase and
constructively interfere. Remember that the
index of refraction of the film determines
whether the wave is inverted, so that the
thickness of the film must equal a multiple of
half a wavelength of the light, divided by the
films index of refraction.

40.BIG IDEA White light shines through a diffraction

grating. Are the resulting red lines spaced more
closely or farther apart than the resulting violet lines?
Why?
SOLUTION:
The spacing is directly proportional to the
wavelength, and because red light has a longer
wavelength than violet, the red lines will be
spaced farther apart than the violet lines.
41.Why do diffraction gratings have large numbers of

slits? Why are these slits so close together?
SOLUTION:
The large number of grooves in diffraction
gratings increases the intensity of the
diffraction patterns. The grooves are close
together, producing sharper images of light.
42.TelescopesWhy would a telescope with a small

diameter be unable to resolve the images of two
closely spaced stars?

diffraction pattern is made on a screen 2.00 m
away, what is the distance from the center of the
pattern to the first dark band?
44.Problem Posing Complete this problem so that it

can be solved using the Rayleigh criterion: A
telescope currently being designed is to have an
aperture that is 8.0 m in diameter.
SOLUTION:
Answers will vary. A possible form of the
correct answer would be, .If resolution were
to be diffraction-limited, what would be the
smallest angle that could be resolved if the
incoming light had a wavelength of 550 nm?

12,000lines/cm.Findtheanglesatwhichredlight,

54.Science Fair At a science fair, one exhibition is a

very large soap film that has a fairly consistent
thickness. It is illuminated by a light with a
wavelengthof432nm,andnearlytheentiresurface
appears to be a lovely shade of purple. What would
you see in the following situations?
a. Film thickness was doubled.

b. The film thickness was increased by half a
wavelength of the illuminating light.
c.The film thickness was decreased by one-quarter
of a wavelength of the illuminating light.
SOLUTION:

55.What are the differences in the characteristics of the

diffraction patterns formed by diffraction gratings

5
containing 10 lines/cm and 10 lines/cm?
SOLUTION:
The lines in the diffraction pattern are narrower
5
for the 10 lines/cm grating.
56.Laser-Pointer Challenge You have two laser

pointers, a red one and a green one. Your friends
Mark and Carlos disagree about which has the longer
wavelength. Mark insists that red light has a longer
wavelength, while Carlos is sure that green has the
longer wavelength. You have a CD handy. Describe
what demonstration you would do with this
equipment and how you would explain the results to
Carlos and Mark to settle their disagreement.
SOLUTION:
Shine each laser pointer at the grating,
reflecting onto a nearby wall. The color with the
longer wavelength will produce spots with a
greater spacing on the wall because the spacing
is directly proportional to the wavelength.
(Mark is correct; red light has a longer
wavelength than green light.)
57.How can you tell whether a pattern is produced by a

single slit or a double slit?
SOLUTION:
A double-slit interference pattern consists of
equally spaced lines of almost equal brightness.
A single-slit diffraction pattern has a bright,
broad central band and dimmer side bands.
SOLUTION:
Less diffraction results from the short
wavelength of blue light.
59.For each of the following examples, indicate whether

the color is produced by thin-film interference,
refraction, or the presence of pigments.
a. soap bubbles
b. rose petals
c.oilfilms
d. a rainbow
SOLUTION:
a. interference
b. pigments
c. interference
d. refraction
60.Describe the changes in a single-slit diffraction

pattern as the width of the slit is decreased.
SOLUTION:
The bands get wider and dimmer.

grating. On a screen behind the grating, you see
three spots: one at zero degrees, where there is no
diffraction,andoneeachat+30and30.Younow
add a blue light of equal intensity that is in the same
direction as the yellow light. What pattern of spots
will you now see on the screen?

65.Apply Concepts Blue light of wavelength passes

through a single slit of width w. A diffraction pattern
appears on a screen. If you replace the blue light
with a green light of wavelength 1.5, what slit width
will produce the original pattern?
SOLUTION:
The angle of diffraction depends on the ratio of
slit width to wavelength. Thus, you would
increase the width to 1.5w.
The light is reddish-orange. For other values of

m, the wavelength is shorter than that of light.
