1. In a Fraunhofer single slit diffraction pattern the slit width is 0.45 mm and the focal length of the
lens is 40 cm. It is found that the distance from the central maximum to the second minimum is 0.8
mm. Find
a. the wavelength of the light used,
b. the angular width of the central bright fringe, and
c. the relative intensity of the second diffraction bright fringe.
2. A beam of monochromatic green light is diffracted by a slit of width 0.550 mm. The diffraction
pattern forms on a wall 2.06 m beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity
on both sides of the central bright fringe is 4.10 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the laser light.
4. The pupil of a cats eye narrows to a vertical slit of width 0.500 mm in daylight. What is the angular
resolution for horizontally separated mice? Assume that the average wavelength of the light is 500
nm.
6. What are the approximate dimensions of the smallest object on the Earth that astronausts can resolve
by eye when they are orbiting 250 km above the Earth? Assume = 500 nm and that the pupil
diameter is 5.00 mm.
7. Unpolarized light passes through two polaroid sheets. The axis of the first is vertical, and that of the
second is at 30.0 to the vertical. What fraction of the incident light is transmitted?
