Suppose we place a chamber 10.0cm long with flat parallel windows in one arm of a Michelson Interferometer that is being illuminated by 600-nm light. If the refractive index of air is 1.00029 and all the air is pumped out of the cell, how many fringe-pairs will shift by in the process?

Imagine that you have an opaque screen with three horizontal very narrow parallel slits in it. The second is a center-to-center distance a beneath the first, and the third is a distance 5a/2 beneath the first. (a)Write a complex exponential expression in terms of δ for the amplitude of the...
Here's the question:
a beam of natural light is incident on an air-glass interface (n-ti = 1.5) at 40°. Compute the degree of polarization of the reflected light.
In here, I'm not too sure of the degree of polarization that they're talking about nor which formula to use
Although, i know...
Here's the question that I've tried working it out...but sort of blocked at some places:
Write an expression for a P-state lightwave of angular frequency w and amplitude Eo propagating along a line in the xy-plane at 45° to the x-axis and having its plane of vibration corresponding to the...
Thank you very much for your fast reply Galileo, everything's much more clearer to me now...but i just have one more question:
i did the derivative for B in respect to t and comes to: kEo = -wBo
so my question is -w/k = c?
anyway, sorry for the bother and thanks again!
If anyone who's good at optics/physics can help me with this electromagnetic part of optics...it'll be great.
so here's the problem:
imagine an electromagnetic wave with it's E-field in the y-direction. Show that (dE/dx)=-(dB/dt) applied to the harmonic wave B
E=Eo cos(kx - wt)...
Hi,
It's been quite some time now I've spent on figuring out the mecanism of the oxydation of toluene with KMnO4 to give benzoic acid. My problem is i don't know how exactly the MnO4 attacks the hydrogen on the aliphatic chain. So, if anyone can help me figure out the first steps of which O...
