Which way did you move the glass to get it to focus, and why can’t all the images be sharp at the same time? You can project images of other brightly illuminated objects on a sheet of white paper. What features of the lens determine the sizes of those images?

Concluding Everyday Life Task

There are many household devices that manipulate light, and one of the most familiar is a magnifying glass. A magnifying glass bends light rays toward one another as they pass through it. In this chapter, we’ll see how a simple converging lens of this sort can magnify an object or cast its image onto a light-sensitive surface. For the moment, we’ll use it to cast the image of a window onto a wall.

Take a magnifying glass to a room with a bright window and turn off the lights. Hold the magnifying glass near the wall opposite the window and move the glass toward or away from the wall until you see a window-shaped pattern of light appear on the wall. Once that pattern is visible, carefully adjust the magnifying glass’s orientation and distance from the wall to obtain the sharpest image of the window. You’ll probably also see images of objects outside that window, but you’ll have to move the magnifying glass to sharpen those images.

1.Which way did you move the glass to get it to focus, and why can’t all the images be sharp at the same time?

2.You can project images of other brightly illuminated objects on a sheet of white paper. What features of the lens determine the sizes of those images?

3.What determines their orientations?

4.Block part of the lens, and notice how it affects the images.

5.Try to form images of objects at different distances from you. Do they all form images simultaneously, or do you have to adjust the lens somehow to bring each image into sharp focus?

6.If you had a larger magnifying glass, how would this change what you see?

7.Name two examples from your personal daily life where you see a phenomenon like this. Please try not to give standard examples as given in the textbook but make it a personal challenge to discover new examples in your daily life!

Lab 2: Experiment:

We see light because it stimulates cells in our eyes. This stimulation is an example of light’s ability to influence chemistry. And because our eyes are able to distinguish among the different wavelengths of light, we perceive colors. Sunlight normally appears uncolored because it contains a rich mixture of wavelengths that our eyes interpret as whiteness. However, there are situations in which sunlight becomes separated into its constituent colors.

You can observe this separation of colors by looking at sunlight passing through a cut crystal glass or bowl, or by reflecting sunlight from a CD or DVD. Hold the object in direct sunlight and observe the light that it redirects toward your eyes or projects onto a white sheet of paper nearby. While some of the light you see will still be white, you should see colors as well.

In class, we have shown that the parametric gains for the signal wave, g, and the idler wave, g′, satisfy g′ =g−1, when the two waves are degenerate in frequency and are not subject to any linear loss. Does this relation still hold for Γs ≠0? Why?

Nonlinear optics

In Lecture 11, we analyzed non degenerate optical parametric amplication (NOPA) under the undepleted-pump approximation and assuming no linear loss  for all light waves involved. In practice, however, the linear losses could be significant.

Let Γs and Γi be the linear loss coefficients per unit length for the signal and the idler waves, respectively, write down the equations of motion for the signal and idler waves undergoing NOPA, assuming un depleted pump and phase matching (10 pts).

When there is no idler input, solve the NOPA dynamics for Γi =0 and the limiting cases of (i) Γs being very small (meaning the loss occurs at a speed much lower than the nonlinear process does); (ii) Γs is predominantly large.  Based on your results, give a rough estimate on how large Γs can be for the signal’s parametric gain to be greater than 1 (20 pts).

In class, we have shown that the parametric gains for the signal wave, g, and the idler wave, g′, satisfy g′ =g−1, when the two waves are degenerate in frequency and are not subject to any linear loss. Does this relation still hold for Γs ≠0? Why?

When there is no idler input, solve the NOPA dynamics for Γs =0 and in the limit of Γi being predominantly large. In this case, can a large parametric gain be obtained for the signal?

Calculate the gravitational force (in N) exerted on a 2.98 kg baby by a 102 kg father 0.250 m away at birth. Calculate the force (in N) on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.29 ✕✕ 10 m away.

Position of the planets

Astrology makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one’s birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational.

(a) Calculate the gravitational force (in N) exerted on a 2.98 kg baby by a 102 kg father 0.250 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child). (Enter the magnitude.)

(b) Calculate the force (in N) on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.29 ✕✕ 10 m away. (Enter the magnitude.)

How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)

The smallest time interval 𝑡 that can be measured with high precision is 1.0 𝑚𝑠. What is the smallest distance (at 20° 𝐶) that can be measured with the motion sensor?

Chapters 15 and 16 Written Homework

Be sure to show all your work, particularly for odd-numbered questions. If you end up looking at a solution please cite the source of your information.

15 – 6: A cord of mass 0.65 𝑘𝑔 is stretched between two supports 7.2 𝑚 apart. If the tension in the cord is 120 𝑁, how much time will it take a pulse to travel from one support to the other?

15 – 31: A sinusoidal wave traveling on a cord in the negative 𝑥 direction has amplitude 1.00 𝑐𝑚, wavelength 3.00 𝑐𝑚, and frequency 245 𝐻𝑧. At 𝑡 = 0, the particle of string at 𝑥 = 0 is displaced a distance 𝐷 = 0.80 𝑐𝑚 above the origin and is moving upward.

  1. a) Sketch the shape of the wave at 𝑡 = 0.
  2. b) Determine the function of 𝑥 and 𝑡 that describes the wave.

16 – 75: A motion sensor can accurately measure the distance 𝑑 to an object repeatedly via the sonar technique used in Example 16 – 2. A short ultrasonic pulse is emitted and reflects from any object it encounters, creating echo pulses upon their arrival back at the senor. The sensor measures the time interval 𝑡 between the emission of the original pulse and the arrival of the first echo.

  1. a) The smallest time interval 𝑡 that can be measured with high precision is 1.0 𝑚𝑠. What is the smallest distance (at 20° 𝐶) that can be measured with the motion sensor?
  1. b) To measure an object’s speed the motion sensor makes 15 distance measurements every second (that is, it emits 15 sound pulses per second at evenly spaced time intervals), the measurement of 𝑡 must be completed within the time interval between the emissions of successive pulses. What is the largest distance (at 20° 𝐶) that can be measured with the motion sensor?
  1. c) Assume that during a lab period the room’s temperature increases from 20° 𝐶 to 23° 𝐶. What percent error will this introduce into the motion sensor’s distance measurements?

There is an optional bonus question on the next page.

Optional Bonus Question: Show by direct substitution that the following functions satisfy the wave equation:

  1. a) 𝐷(𝑥, 𝑡) = 𝐴 𝑙𝑛(𝑥 + 𝑣𝑡)
  2. b) 𝐷(𝑥, 𝑡) = (𝑥 − 𝑣𝑡)4
