18. From the equation immediately preceding Eq. 33-12, we see that the maximum value of ¶B/¶t is wBm . We can relate Bm to the intensity:
,
and relate the intensity to the power P (and distance r) using Eq. 33-27. Finally, we relate w to wavelength l using w = kc = 2pc/l. Putting all this together, we obtain
.
14. (a) The power received is
(b) The power of the source would be
30. Eq. 33-27 suggests that the slope in an intensity versus inverse-square-distance graph (I plotted versus r -2 ) is P/4p. We estimate the slope to be about 20 (in SI units) which means the power is P = 4p(30) » 2.5 ×102 W.
22. (a) The radiation pressure produces a force equal to
(b) The gravitational pull of the Sun on Earth is
which is much greater than Fr.
28. The mass of the cylinder is where D is the diameter of the cylinder. Since it is in equilibrium
We solve for H:
31. We shall assume that the Sun is far enough from the particle to act as an isotropic point source of light.
(a) The forces that act on the dust particle are the radially outward radiation force and the radially inward (toward the Sun) gravitational force . Using Eqs. 33-32 and 33-27, the radiation force can be written as
,
where R is the radius of the particle, and is the cross-sectional area. On the other hand, the gravitational force on the particle is given by Newton’s law of gravitation (Eq. 13-1):
,
where is the mass of the particle. When the two forces balance, the particle travels in a straight path. The condition that implies
,
which can be solved to give
(b) Since varies with and varies with if the radius R is larger, then , and the path will be curved toward the Sun (like path 3).
34. After passing through the first polarizer the initial intensity I0 reduces by a factor of 1/2. After passing through the second one it is further reduced by a factor of cos2 (p – q1 – q2) = cos2 (q1 + q2). Finally, after passing through the third one it is again reduced by a factor of cos2 (p – q2 – q3) = cos2 (q2 + q3). Therefore,
Thus, 0.045% of the light’s initial intensity is transmitted.
35. Let I0 be the intensity of the unpolarized light that is incident on the first polarizing sheet. The transmitted intensity is and the direction of polarization of the transmitted light is q1 = 40° counterclockwise from the y axis in the diagram. The polarizing direction of the second sheet is q2 = 20° clockwise from the y axis, so the angle between the direction of polarization that is incident on that sheet and the polarizing direction of the sheet is 40° + 20° = 60°. The transmitted intensity is
and the direction of polarization of the transmitted light is 20° clockwise from the y axis. The polarizing direction of the third sheet is q3 = 40° counterclockwise from the y axis. Consequently, the angle between the direction of polarization of the light incident on that sheet and the polarizing direction of the sheet is 20° + 40° = 60°. The transmitted intensity is
Thus, 3.1% of the light’s initial intensity is transmitted.
33. The angle between the direction of polarization of the light incident on the first polarizing sheet and the polarizing direction of that sheet is q1 = 70°. If I0 is the intensity of the incident light, then the intensity of the light transmitted through the first sheet is
The direction of polarization of the transmitted light makes an angle of 70° with the vertical and an angle of q2 = 20° with the horizontal. q2 is the angle it makes with the polarizing direction of the second polarizing sheet. Consequently, the transmitted intensity is
40. We note the points at which the curve is zero (q2 = 0° and 90°) in Fig. 33-45(b). We infer that sheet 2 is perpendicular to one of the other sheets at q2 = 0°, and that it is perpendicular to the other of the other sheets when q2 = 90°. Without loss of generality, we choose q1 = 0°, q3 = 90°. Now, when q2 = 30°, it will be Dq = 30° relative to sheet 1 and Dq¢ = 60° relative to sheet 3. Therefore,
.
36. We examine the point where the graph reaches zero: q 2 = 160º. Since the polarizers must be “crossed” for the intensity to vanish, then q1 = 160º – 90º = 70º. Now we consider the case q 2 = 90º (which is hard to judge from the graph). Since q1 is still equal to 70º, then the angle between the polarizers is now Dq =20º. Accounting for the “automatic” reduction (by a factor of one-half) whenever unpolarized light passes through any polarizing sheet, then our result is
cos2(Dq) = 0.442 » 44%.
48. (a) For the angles of incidence and refraction to be equal, the graph in Fig. 33-50(b) would consist of a “y = x” line at 45º in the plot. Instead, the curve for material 1 falls under such a “y = x” line, which tells us that all refraction angles are less than incident ones. With q2 < q1 Snell’s law implies n2 > n1 .
(b) Using the same argument as in (a), the value of n2 for material 2 is also greater than that of water (n1).
(c) It’s easiest to examine the topmost point of each curve. With q2 = 90º and q1 = ½(90º), and with n2 = 1.33 (Table 33-1) we find n1 = 1.9 from Snell’s law.
(d) Similarly, with q2 = 90º and q1 = ¾(90º), we obtain n1 = 1.4.
47. The angle of incidence for the light ray on mirror B is 90° – q. So the outgoing ray r' makes an angle 90° – (90° – q) = q with the vertical direction, and is antiparallel to the incoming one. The angle between i and r' is therefore 180°.
54. (a) From n1sinq1 = n2sinq2 and n2sinq2 = n3sinq3, we find n1sinq1 = n3sinq3. This has a simple implication: that q1 =q3 when n1 = n3. Since we are given q1 = 40º in Fig. 33-56(a) then we look for a point in Fig. 33-56(b) where q3 = 40º. This seems to occur at n3 = 1.6, so we infer that n1 = 1.6.
(b) Our first step in our solution to part (a) shows that information concerning n2 disappears (cancels) in the manipulation. Thus, we cannot tell; we need more information.
(c) From 1.6sin70° = 2.4sinq3 we obtain q3 = 39°.
50. (a) A simple implication of Snell’s law is that q2 = q1 when n1 = n2. Since the angle of incidence is shown in Fig. 33-52(a) to be 30º, then we look for a point in Fig. 33-52(b) where q2 = 30º. This seems to occur when n2 = 1.7. By inference, then, n1 = 1.7.
(b) From 1.7sin(60º) = 2.4sin(q2) we get q2 = 38°.
51. Consider a ray that grazes the top of the pole, as shown in the diagram that follows. Here q1 = 90° – q = 35°, and The length of the shadow is x + L. x is given by
According to the law of refraction, n2 sin q2 = n1 sin q1. We take n1 = 1 and n2 = 1.33 (from Table 33-1). Then,
L is given by
The length of the shadow is 0.35 m + 0.72 m = 1.07 m.
67. (a) A ray diagram is shown below.
Let q1 be the angle of incidence and q2 be the angle of refraction at the first surface. Let q3 be the angle of incidence at the second surface. The angle of refraction there is q4 = 90°. The law of refraction, applied to the second surface, yields n sin q3 = sin q4 = 1. As shown in the diagram, the normals to the surfaces at P and Q are perpendicular to each other. The interior angles of the triangle formed by the ray and the two normals must sum to 180°, so q3 = 90° – q2 and
According to the law of refraction, applied at Q, The law of refraction, applied to point P, yields sin q1 = n sin q2, so sin q2 = (sin q1)/n and
Squaring both sides and solving for n, we get
(b) The greatest possible value of sin2 q1 is 1, so the greatest possible value of n is
(c) For a given value of n, if the angle of incidence at the first surface is greater than q1, the angle of refraction there is greater than q2 and the angle of incidence at the second face is less than q3 (= 90° – q2). That is, it is less than the critical angle for total internal reflection, so light leaves the second surface and emerges into the air.
(d) If the angle of incidence at the first surface is less than q1, the angle of refraction there is less than q2 and the angle of incidence at the second surface is greater than q3. This is greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection, so all the light is reflected at Q.
63. When examining Fig. 33-62, it is important to note that the angle (measured from the central axis) for the light ray in air, q, is not the angle for the ray in the glass core, which we denote q ' . The law of refraction leads to
assumingThe angle of incidence for the light ray striking the coating is the complement of q ', which we denote as q'comp and recall that
In the critical case, q'comp must equal qc specified by Eq. 33-47. Therefore,
which leads to the result: With n1 = 1.58 and n2 = 1.53, we obtain
71. (a) The first contribution to the overall deviation is at the first refraction: The next contribution to the overall deviation is the reflection. Noting that the angle between the ray right before reflection and the axis normal to the back surface of the sphere is equal to qr, and recalling the law of reflection, we conclude that the angle by which the ray turns (comparing the direction of propagation before and after the reflection) is The final contribution is the refraction suffered by the ray upon leaving the sphere: again. Therefore,
(b) We substitute into the expression derived in part (a), using the two given values for n. The higher curve is for the blue light.
(c) We can expand the graph and try to estimate the minimum, or search for it with a more sophisticated numerical procedure. We find that the qdev minimum for red light is 137.63°137.6°, and this occurs at qi = 59.52°.
(d) For blue light, we find that the qdev minimum is 139.35°139.4°, and this occurs at qi = 59.52°.
(e) The difference in qdev in the previous two parts is 1.72°.
