A horizontal beam of laser light of wavelength 501 nm passes through a narrow slit that has width 6.20×10−2 mm . The intensity of the light is measured on a vertical screen that is 3.00 m from the slit. Use the result of part A to estimate the width of the central diffraction maximum that is observed on the screen. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A man sends a beam of red light along the z-axis through a polaroid filter that passes only x-polarized light. The beam is initially polarized at 30 degrees to the x-axis. The beam subsequently is passed through a filter which lets through only right-circularly-polarized light. (a) Write down the basis corresponding to the 30 degrees, linearly polarized basis in terms of R and L basis. (b) Evaluate the relative intensity of the beam of red light after light after it...
