A diffraction grating has 2000 lines per centimeter. At what angle will the first-order maximum be for 520-nmwavelength green light?
In our study of diffraction by a single slit, we assume that the length of the slit is much larger than the width. What happens to the diffraction pattern if these two dimensions were comparable?
Radio telescopes are telescopes used for the detection of radio emission from space. Because radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light, the diameter of a radio telescope must be very large to provide good resolution. For example, the radio telescope in Penticton, BC in Canada, has a diameter of 26 m and can be operated at frequencies as high as 6.6 GHz. (a) What is the wavelength corresponding to this frequency? (b) What is the angular separation of two radio sources that can be resolved by this telescope? (c) Compare the telescope’s resolution with the angular size of the moon.
The 305-m-diameter Arecibo radio telescope pictured in Figure 4.20 detects radio waves with a 4.00-cm average wavelength. (a) What is the angle between two just-resolvable point sources for this telescope? (b) How close together could these point sources be at the 2 million light-year distance of the Andromeda Galaxy? Figure 4.20 A 305-m-diameter paraboloid at Arecibo in Puerto Rico is lined with reflective material, making it into a radio telescope. It is the largest curved focusing dish in the world. Although D for Arecibo is much larger than for the Hubble Telescope, it detects radiation of a much longer wavelength and its diffraction limit is significantly poorer than Hubble’s. The Arecibo telescope is still very useful, because important information is carried by radio waves that is not carried by visible light. (credit: Jeff Hitchcock)
(a) What is the minimum angular spread of a 633-nm wavelength He-Ne laser beam that is originally 1.00 mm in diameter? (b) If this laser is aimed at a mountain cliff 15.0 km away, how big will the illuminated spot be? (c) How big a spot would be illuminated on the moon, neglecting atmospheric effects? (This might be done to hit a corner reflector to measure the round-trip time and, hence, distance.)

Scientists are workingon a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy(in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremelyshort time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interiorof a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We canmodel a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 mm in diameter, with the pulselasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 * 10^12 W. We shall assumethat the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells foreach pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse?(b) What is the intensity (in W/m2) delivered to the cell? (c) What arethe maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?
