This is a closed book exam. I understand I am not to use any notes or

information other than on this exam sheet. I may use a pocket calculator but

only for the purpose of numerical calculation. I accept the

responsibility to know and observe the requirements of the UNC-

equations then substitute the numbers if necessary.

  1. Shown from above in figure below is one corner of a rectangular box filled

with water. A laser beam starts from side A of the container and enters the

water at position x. You can ignore the thin walls of the container.

a. If x = 15 cm, does the laser beam refract back into the air through side B

or reflect from the side B back into the water?

b. Find the minimum value of x for which the laser beam passes through the

side B and emerges into the air. Index of refraction of water is 1.330.

  1. Light of wavelength 600 nm passes through a double slit and is viewed on a

screen 2.0 m behind the slits. Each slit is 0.040 mm wide and they are separated by 0.

mm. Calculate the positions of first five bright interference fringes relative to the center.

How many bright fringes are seen in the central diffraction envelope?

  1. Calculate the minimum thickness of a soap bubble film ( n = 1.33 ) that results in

constructive interference in the reflected light if the film is illuminated with light whose

wavelength in air is 600 nm.

  1. Assume that the light leaving the slits in a double slit experiment has the electric

field components given as,

Where I 0

is the intensity of incident beam, d is the slit separation, D is the distance

between the screen and the slit. Use small angle approximation.
