Get started for freeA series of parallel linear water wave fronts are traveling directly toward
the shore at 15.0 cm/s on an otherwise placid lake. A long concrete barrier
that runs parallel to the shore at a distance of 3.20 m away has a hole in it.
You count the wave crests and observe that 75.0 of them pass by each minute,
and you also observe that no waves reach the shore at
Why is visible light, which has much longer wavelengths than x rays do, used for Bragg reflection experiments on colloidal crystals? (a) The microspheres are suspended in a liquid, and it is more difficult for x rays to penetrate liquid than it is for visible light. (b) The irregular spacing of the microspheres allows the longerwavelength visible light to produce more destructive interference than can x rays. (c) The microspheres are much larger than atoms in a crystalline solid, and in order to get interference maxima at reasonably large angles, the wavelength must be much longer than the size of the individual scatterers. (d) The microspheres are spaced more widely than atoms in a crystalline solid, and in order to get interference maxima at reasonably large angles, the wavelength must be comparable to the spacing between scattering planes.
An interference pattern is produced by light of wavelength 580 nm from a
distant source incident on two identical parallel slits separated by a
distance (between centers) of 0.530 mm. (a) If the slits are very narrow, what
would be the angular positions of the first-order and second-order, two-slit
interference maxima? (b) Let the slits have width 0.320 mm. In terms of the
intensity
Monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.750 mm wide. On a screen 2.00 m away, the distance from the central maximum of the diffraction pattern to the first minimum is measured to be 1.35 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light.

wavelength 700 nm) at 65.0
