    This document contains 9 practice problems about interference and diffraction of light from an Advanced Optics homework assignment. The problems cover topics like proving equations for time-averaged intensities of light waves, deriving expressions for interference patterns and fringe locations, analyzing conditions for interference with single-slit and double-slit experiments, and estimating coherence lengths. Students are asked to apply concepts from the textbook to problems involving interference of light waves, thin film interference, and the Michelson interferometer.

    Homework 1 – due 03/02/2022


    Problem 1. Prove the following equations:
    1
    (a) 〈𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝜔𝑡〉 𝑇 =
    2
    1
    (b) 〈𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝜔𝑡〉 𝑇 =
    2

    (c) 〈𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜔𝑡. 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜔𝑡〉 𝑇 = 0

    Problem 2. (9.2 in textbook of both 4th ed. and 5th ed.) In Section 9.1 we considered
    the spatial distribution of energy for two point sources. We mentioned that for the case
    in which the separation 𝑎 ≫ 𝝀, I12 spatially averages to zero. Why is this true? What
    happens when a is much less than l?
    Problem 3. (9.3 in textbook of both 4th ed. and 5th ed.) Return to Fig. 2.25 (Fig. 2.22
    in 4th ed.) and prove that if two electromagnetic plane waves making an angle θ have
    the same amplitude, E0, the resulting interference pattern on the yx-plane is a cosine-
    squared irradiance distribution given by

    Locate the zeros of irradiance. What is the value of the fringe separation? What happens
    to the separation as θ increases? Compare your analysis with that leading to Eq. (9.17).
    [Hint: Begin with the wave expressions given in Section 2.7, which have the proper
    phases already worked out, and write them as exponentials.]

    Problem 4. (9.4 in textbook of both 4th ed. and 5th ed.) Will we get an interference
    pattern in Young’s Experiment (Fig. 9.11 in 5th ed.) (Fig. 9.8 in 4th ed.) if we replace
    the source slit S by a single long-filament lightbulb? What would occur if we replaced
    the slits S1 and S2 by these same bulbs?

    Problem 5. (9.10 in 4th ed. or 9.13 in 5th ed.) White light falling on two long narrow
    slits emerges and is observed on a distant screen. If red light (𝜆0 = 765 nm) in the first-
    order fringe overlaps violet in the second-order fringe, what is the latter’s wavelength?

    Problem 6. (9.12 in 4th ed. or 9.18 in 5th ed.) With regard to Young’s Experiment,
    derive a general expression for the shift in the vertical position of the mth maximum as
    a result of placing a thin parallel sheet of glass of index n and thickness d directly over
    one of the slits. Identify your assumptions.

    Problem 7. (9.13 in 4th ed. or 9.19 in 5th ed.) Plane waves of monochromatic light
    impinge at an angle θi on a screen containing two narrow slits separated by a distance
    a. Derive an equation for the angle measured from the central axis that locates the mth
    maximum.

    Problem 8. (9.15 in 4th ed. or 9.21 in 5th ed.) To examine the conditions under which
    the approximations of Eq. (9.23) are valid:

    (a) Apply the law of cosines to triangle S1S2P in Fig. 9.11c (Fig. 9.8c in 4th ed.) to get

    (b) Expand this in a Maclaurin series yielding

    (c) In light of Eq. (9.17), show that if (r1 - r2) is to equal a sin θ, it is required that
    𝑟1 ≫ 𝑎2 /𝜆.

    Problem 9. (9.17 in 4th ed. or 9.23 in 5th ed.) It is our intention to produce interference
    fringes by illuminating some sort of arrangement (Young’s experiment, a thin film, the
    Michelson Interferometer, etc.) with light at a mean wavelength of 500 nm, having a
    linewidth of 2.0 ×10-3 nm. At approximately what optical path length difference can
    you expect the fringes to vanish? [Hint: Think about the coherence length and revisit
    Problem 7.55 (problem 7.39 in 4th ed.)].
