Advanced Optics Homework 5 - : Problem 1. (10.6 in Textbook of Both 4

This document contains 7 problems from an Advanced Optics homework assignment. The problems cover topics like: 1) Deriving an expression for the half-angular breadth of a single-slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern and calculating the half-linear width. 2) Determining if a diffraction pattern from a single slit illuminated by a laser will be in the far-field and calculating the angular width of the central maximum. 3) Using the angle of the 10th dark band to determine the width of a narrow single slit illuminated by a laser. 4) Showing the relationship between the number of bright fringes in a double-slit pattern and the ratio of slit widths. 5) Cal

Homework 5 – due on 05/06 2022


Problem 1. (10.6 in textbook of both 4th and 5th editions) The angular distance
between the center and the first minimum of a single-slit Fraunhofer diffraction
pattern is called the half-angular breadth; write an expression for it. Find the
corresponding half-linear width (a) when no focusing lens is present and the
distance from the slit to the viewing screen is L, and (b) when a lens of focal length
f2 is very close to the aperture. Notice that the half-linear width is also the distance
between the successive minima.
Problem 2. (10.7 in textbook of both 4th ed. and 5th ed.) A single slit in an opaque
screen 0.10 mm wide is illuminated (in air) by plane waves from a krypton ion laser
(λ0 = 461.9 nm). If the observing screen is 1.5 m away, determine whether or not the
resulting diffraction pattern will be of the far-field variety and then compute the
angular width of the central maximum.

Problem 3. (10.8 in textbook of both 4th ed. and 5th ed.) A narrow single slit (in air)
in an opaque screen is illuminated by infrared from a He–Ne laser at 1152.2 nm, and
it is found that the center of the tenth dark band in the Fraunhofer pattern lies at an
angle of 6.4° off the central axis. Determine the width of the slit. At what angle will
the tenth minimum appear if the entire arrangement is immersed in water (n w = 1.33)
rather than air (na = 1.000 29)?

Problem 4. (10.10 in 4th ed. or 10.14 in 5th ed.) Show that for a double-slit
Fraunhofer pattern, if a = mb, the number of bright fringes (or parts thereof) within
the central diffraction maximum will be equal to 2m.

Problem 5. (10.11 in 4th ed. or 10.15 in 5th ed.) Two long slits 0.10 mm wide,
separated by 0.20 mm in an opaque screen, are illuminated by light with a
wavelength of 550 nm. If the plane of observation is 2.5 m away, will the pattern
correspond to Fraunhofer or Fresnel diffraction? How many Young’s fringes are
visible within the central bright band?

Problem 6. (10.16 in 4th ed. or 10.27 in 5th ed.) From symmetry considerations,
create a rough sketch of the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns of an equilateral
triangular aperture and an aperture in the form of a plus sign.

Problem 7. (10.17 in 4th ed. or 10.28 in 5th ed.) Below figure is the irradiance
distribution in the far field for a configuration of elongated rectangular apertures.
Describe the arrangement of holes that would give rise to such a pattern and give
your reasoning in detail.
