35.1: Measuring with a ruler from both
21

to there different points in the
antinodal line labeled
m

wavelength of the wave, as measured from one crest to the next on the diagram.

so there will be a total of 15 antinodes between the
sources. (Another antinode cannot be squeezed in until the separation becomes six times
the wavelength.)
35.3: a) For constructive interference the path diference is

The
separation between sources is 5.00 m, so for points between the sources the largest
possible path difference is 5.00 m. Thus only the path difference of zero is possible. This
occurs midway between the two sources, 2.50 m from A.

b) If one source leads the other by a phase angle

, the fraction of a cycle difference is

Thus the path length difference for the two sources must be adjusted for both
destructive and constructive interference, by this amount. So for constructive
inference:

a) At the water (or cytoplasm) to guanine interface, is a half-cycle phase shift for

b) By having many layers the reflection is strengthened, because at each interface
some more of the transmitted light gets reflected back, increasing the total percentage
reflected.
c) At different angles, the path length in the layers change (always to a larger value
than the normal incidence case). If the path length changes, then so do the wavelengths
that will interfere constructively upon reflection.

a) Since we can approximate the angles of incidence on the prism as being small,

Snell’s Law tells us that an incident angle of
θ
on the flat side of the prism enters the prism
at an angle of
,nθ
where
n
is the index of refraction of the prism. Similarly on leaving the
prism, the in-going angle is
