A spectroscopic instrument can resolve two nearly wavelength `lambda and lambda + Delta lambda if lambda//Delta lambda` is smaller than `8000` This is used to study the spectral lines of the balmer series of hydrogen Approximately how many lines will be resolved by the instrument?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The range of Balmer series is 656.3 nm to 365 nm. It can resolve `lambda` and `lambda + Delta lambda = 8000`
:. Number of wavelengths in the range
`=(656.3 -365)/3000=36`
Total number of lines `=36 +2 =38`
[Extra two is for first and last wavelength]

Thin films, including soap bubbles and oil show patterns of alternative dark and bright regions resulting from interference among the reflected light waves. If two waves are in phase, their crests and troughs will coincide. The interference will be constructive and the amplitude of resultant wave will be greater then either of constituent waves. If the two wave are not of phase by half a wavelength (180^(@)) , the crests of one wave will coincide width the troughs of the other wave. The interference will be destructive and the amplitude of the resultant wave will be less than that of either constiuent wave. 1. When incident light I, reaches the surface at point a, some of the light is reflected as ray R_(a) and some is refracted following the path ab to the back of the film. 2. At point b, some of the light is refracted out of the film and part is reflected back through the film along path bc. At point c, some of the light is reflected back into the film and part is reflected out of the film as ray R_(c) . R_(a) and R_(c) are parallel. However, R_(c) has traveled the extra distance within the film of abc. If the angle of incidence is small, then abc is approximately twice the film's thickness . If R_(a) and R_(c) are in phase, they will undergo constructive interference and the region ac will be bright. If R_(a) and R_(c) are out of phase, they will undergo destructive interference and the region ac will be dark. I. Refraction at an interface never changes the phase of the wave. II. For reflection at the interfere between two media 1 and 2, if n_(1) gt n_(2) , the reflected wave will change phase. If n_(1) lt n_(2) , the reflected wave will not undergo a phase change. For reference, n_(air) = 1.00 . III. If the waves are in phase after reflection at all intensities, then the effects of path length in the film are: Constrictive interference occurs when 2 t = m lambda // n, m = 0, 1,2,3 ,...
