Newton’s rings are similar, but with curved glass:
Why different colors? for any given difference in path length,the condition ΔL =n (m+1/2)λ might be satisfied for somewavelength but not for some other. A given color might ormight not be present in the visible image.

Chap. 35 Problem 75The figure shows a lens with radius of curvature R lying on a flat glass plate andilluminated from above by light with wavelength λ. The radius of curvature R of the lens is5.0 m and the lens diameter is 20 mm.
a) How many bright rings are produced? Assume that λ = 589 nm.(b) How many bright rings would be produced if the arrangment were immersed in water (n= 1.33)?

Diffraction
On a much smaller scale, when light waves passnear a barrier, they tend to bend around thatbarrier and spread at oblique angles.
This phenomenon is known as diffraction of the light,and occurs when a light wave passes very close tothe edge of an object or through a tiny opening,such as a slit or aperture.
Lets look at some experiments to see what theeffect looks like
![Page 5: Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 - University of Virginiapeople.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys632/summer08... · 2008-07-28 · Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 • Topics –Newtons](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/5e8fcf000580701c9164d14d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Diffraction from a straight edge
Interference pattern of light and dark bandsaround the edge of the object.
Diffraction is often explained in terms of theHuygens principle, which states that each pointon a wavefront can be considered as a source ofa new wave. This leads to phasors.
All points on a wavefront serve aspoint sources of spherical secondarywavelets. After a time t, the newposition of the wavefront will bethat of a surface tangent to thesesecondary wavefronts

However, Dominique Arago, another member of the judging committee,almost immediately verified the spot experimentally. Fresnel won thecompetition, and, although it may be more appropriate to call it "theSpot of Arago," the spot goes down in history with the name "Poisson'sbright spot" like a curse
In 1818, Augustin Fresnel submitted a paper onthe theory of diffraction for a competitionsponsored by the French Academy. S.D. Poisson,a member of the judging committee for thecompetition, was very critical of the wavetheory of light. Using Fresnel's theory, Poissondeduced the seemingly absurd prediction that abright spot should appear behind a circularobstruction, a prediction he felt was the lastnail in the coffin for Fresnel's theory.

Diffraction by a Single Slit - Locate the First Minima
D >> a, rays are parallel
Divide the screen into two zones of width a/2
Find the first minima above the midpoint bypairing up rays from the top point of the topzone and the top point of the bottom zone
Rays are in phase at the slit but must be outof phase by by λ/2 at screen
The path length difference = a/2 sin θ
Repeat for other pairs of rays in the upperzone and lower zone: a/2 sin θ = λ/2
a sin θ = λ first minima
If we narrow the slit the angle must get bigger - more flaring - - what happens when a = λ?

where
α is just a convenient connection between the angle θ that locates apoint on the screen and the light intensity I(θ)
I = Im occurs at the central maximum (θ = 0) and ϕ is the phasedifference (in radians) between the top and bottom rays from the slitof width a
Studying the expression above reveals that the intensity minima occurat
Plug this into the expression for α above and we find

Diffraction by a circular aperture (lens ...)
First minimum
Compare to the relation for a single slit
A complex analysis leads to
When light from a point sourcepasses through a small circularaperture, it does not produce abright dot as an image, butrather a diffuse circular discknown as Airy's disc surroundedby much fainter concentriccircular rings. This example ofdiffraction is of greatimportance because the eyeand many optical instrumentshave circular apertures.

ResolvabilityThe fact that a lens image is a diffraction pattern is important whentrying to resolve distant point objects
When the angular separation for two objects issuch that the central maximum of one diffractionpattern coincides with the first minimum of theother we have a condition called the Rayleigh’scriterion for resolvability

m2= d / a = 19.44 / 4.050 = 4.8
We have m=0 and m=1,2,3 and 4 on bothsides of central peak.
Answer is 9
2 refers to double slit interference
![Page 25: Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 - University of Virginiapeople.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys632/summer08... · 2008-07-28 · Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 • Topics –Newtons](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/5e8fcf000580701c9164d14d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Diffraction Gratings Like the double slit arrangement butwith a much greater number of slits,or rulings, sometimes as many asseveral 1000 per millimeter
Light passed through the gratingforms narrow interference fringesthat can be analyzed to determinethe wavelength
As the number of rulings increasesbeyond 2 the intensity plot changesfrom that of a double slit pattern toone with very narrow maxima (calledlines) surrounded by relatively wide darkregions
![Page 26: Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 - University of Virginiapeople.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys632/summer08... · 2008-07-28 · Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 • Topics –Newtons](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/5e8fcf000580701c9164d14d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Diffraction GratingsPrincipal maxima, where all wavesinterfere constructively are found withwhat is now a familiar procedure:
each m represents a different line andthe integers are called order numbers
Rewriting the above we find
So the angle to a particular line (say m =3) depends on the wavelengthbeing used
![Page 27: Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 - University of Virginiapeople.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys632/summer08... · 2008-07-28 · Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 • Topics –Newtons](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/5e8fcf000580701c9164d14d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DispersionIn order to distinguish different wavelengths that are close toeach other a diffraction grating must spread out the linesassociated with each wavelength. Dispersion is the term usedto quantify this and is defined as
Δθ is the angular separation between two lines that differ byΔλ. The larger D the larger the angular separation betweenlines of different λ.
It can be shown thatand D gets larger for higherorder (m) and smaller gratingspacing (d)
![Page 28: Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 - University of Virginiapeople.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys632/summer08... · 2008-07-28 · Lecture 16 Diffraction Ch. 36 • Topics –Newtons](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/5e8fcf000580701c9164d14d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Resolving PowerTo make lines that whose wavelengths are close together (toresolve them) the line should be as narrow as possible
The resolving power is defined by
where λavg is the average of the two wavelengths studied and Δλ is thedifference between them. Large R allows two close emission lines to beresolved
It can be shown that To get a high resolving powerwe should use as many rulings.
