Interference and Wave Optics
Waves that are coherent can add/cancel
Patterns of strong and weak intensity
![Page 2: Chapters 21 & 22 Interference and Wave Optics Waves that are coherent can add/cancel Patterns of strong and weak intensity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efb5503460f94c0e852/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Approximate Electric Field:
E(r, t) = A(r)cos(kr - wt + q)
Single Spherical Source
Field depends on distance from source and time.
A(r) : 1 / rTypically
Most important dependence is in the cosine

E(r, t) = A(r1)cos(kr1 - wt + f 1)
+ A(r2 )cos(kr2 - wt + f 2 )
Two sources that have exactly the same frequency. “Coherent”

Sources will interfere constructively when

Sources will interfere destructively when

A. They fade out and disappear.B. They get out of focus.C. They get brighter and closer together.D. They get brighter and farther apart.E. They get brighter but otherwise do not change.
Suppose the viewing screen in the figure is moved closer to the double slit. What happens to the interference fringes?
![Page 15: Chapters 21 & 22 Interference and Wave Optics Waves that are coherent can add/cancel Patterns of strong and weak intensity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efb5503460f94c0e852/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Light of wavelength 1 illuminates a double slit, and interference fringes are observed on a screen behind the slits. When the wavelength is changed to 2, the fringes get closer together. How large is 2 relative to 1?
A. 2 is smaller than 1.B. 2 is larger than 1.C. Cannot be determined from this information.

Measuring Light Spectra
Light usually contains a superposition of many frequencies.
The amount of each frequency is called its spectrum.
Knowing the components of the spectrum tells us about the source of light.
Composition of stars is known by measuring the spectrum of their light.
![Page 22: Chapters 21 & 22 Interference and Wave Optics Waves that are coherent can add/cancel Patterns of strong and weak intensity.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649efb5503460f94c0e852/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Accurate resolution of spectrum requires many lines

White light passes through a diffraction grating and forms rainbow patterns on a screen behind the grating. For each rainbow,
A.the red side is farthest from the center of the screen, the violet side is closest to the center.
B.the red side is closest to the center of the screen, the violet side is farthest from the center.
C.the red side is on the left, the violet side on the right.
D.the red side is on the right, the violet side on the left.

Propagation of wave fronts from a slit with a nonzero width
Sources are not points.
How do we describe spreading of waves?
Ans. Just solve Maxwell’s equations. (wave equation)
That is not always so easy.
In the past, not possible.
In the distant past equations
were not known.

Huygen’s Principle
1. Each point on a wave front is the source of a spherical wavelet that spreads out at the wave speed.
2. At a later time, the shape of the wave front is the line tangent to all the wavelets.

Albert MichelsonFirst US Nobel Science Prize Winner
Using the interferometer Michelson and Morley showed that the speed of light is independent of the motion of the earth.
This implies that light is not supported by a medium, but propagates in vacuum.
Led to development of the special theory of relativity.

A Michelson interferometer using light of wavelength has been adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Mirror M1 is then moved distance toward the beam splitter while M2 is moved distance away from the beam splitter. How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are seen?
