Get started for freeExplain, using phasor diagrams, why each statement is true. (a) A minimum occurs whenever ϕ is an integral multiple of 2π/N, except when ϕ is an integral multiple of 2π (which gives a principal maximum). (b) There are (N-1) minima between each pair of principal maxima.
A two-slit interference experiment is set up, and the fringes are displayed on a screen. Then the whole apparatus is immersed in the nearest swimming pool. How does the fringe pattern change?
There appears to be anambiguity for the case s = 10cm to whether s′ is
When a sheet of plastic food wrap is placed between two crossed polarizers, no light is transmitted. When the sheet is stretched in one direction, some light passes through the crossed polarizers. What is happening?
Could an experiment similar to Young’s two-slit experiment be performed with sound? How might this be carried out? Does it matter that sound waves are longitudinal and electromagnetic waves are transverse? Explain.
