Document Summary

Due: friday*, 15 may 2009, 5:00 pm** (eastern) T312-10-01 when sodium atoms emit light two of the emitted wavelengths, 589. 0 nm and 589. 6 nm, are in the yellow region of the visible spectrum. T312-10-02 the impressionist painter georges seurat used a technique called pointillism, in which his paintings are composed of small, closely spaced dots of pure color, each about 2 mm in diameter. The illusion of colors blending together smoothly is produced in the eye of the viewer by diffraction effects. Calculate the minimum viewing distance for this effect to work properly for all visible wavelengths. Assume that the pupil of the eye has a diameter of 3 mm. 2 (b) explain how this form describes the primary and secondary intensity maxima. (c) calculate the ratio of the intensity at a primary maximum to that at a secondary maximum. The result is displayed in figure 10-04a. (a) determine the wavelength of the light.
