Example
• The figure below shows a laser beam incident on a
wet piece of filter paper atop a sheet of glass whose
index of refraction is to be measured. The photograph
shows the resulting light pattern. Explain what is
happening and derive an expression for ni in terms of
R and d.

5/10/2011 ELEC 308 Engineering Optics


Example
• Wet paper is on optical contact with the glass. The
beam scatters off the wet paper and is mostly
transmitted until the critical angle is attained, at
which point the light is reflected back toward the
source.

Example 2 White Light and Young’s Experiment
The figure shows a photograph that illustrates the kind of interference
fringes that can result when white light is used in Young’s experiment.
Why does Young’s experiment separate white light into its constituent
colors? In any group of colored fringes, such as the two singled out,
why is red farther out from the central fringe than green is? Why is
the central fringe white?

the source slit by S by a single long-filament light bulb? What would occur
if we replaced the slit S1 and S2 by these same bulb?

9.6 Two 1.0MHz radio antennas emitting in-phase are separated by 600m
along a north-south line. A radio receiver placed 2.0km east is equidistant
from both transmitting antennas and picks up a fairly strong signal. How far
North should that receiver be moved if it is again to detect a signal nearly
as strong?

microphone when two small piezo-loudspeakers separated by 15 cm were
pointed toward the microphone at a distance of 1.5 m away. Given that the
speed of sound at 20 degree is 343 m/s, determined the approximate

Thin film Interference
• Phenomenon commonly seen as colored
patches on thin layers of leaked oil,
grease and soap bubbles.

• To obtain a nice colored pattern, the


thickness of the film has to be on the
order of the wavelength of light.
5/10/2011 ELEC 308 Engineering Optics
Thin film interference
• In thin film interference the phase
difference is due to reflection at either
side of a thin film of transparent material.

• The phase difference is due to two


factors:
– Path difference through the film (corrected for
the change in speed of light in the material)
– Phase shift at the interface

The wavelength of light in oil though is not the


same as in air:

0 
n

In this case, constructive interference takes place when:

One of its mirrors is then moved 2.53*10-5m, and it is observed that 92
fringe-pairs, bright and dark, pass by in the process. Determine the
