Interference in 2D. Coherent red light of wavelength λ = 700 nm is incident on two very narrow slits. The light has the same phase at both slits. (a) What is the angular separation in radians between the central maximum in intensity and an adjacent maximum if the slits are 0.025 mm apart? (b) What would be the separation between maxima in intensity on a screen located 1 m from the slits? (c) What would the angular separation be if the slits were 2.5 mm apart? (d) What would the separation between maxima be on a screen 25 mm from the slits? The answer is relevant to the maximum resolution along your retina that would be useful given the size of your pupil. The spacing between cones on the retina is about 10 µm. (Of course, you would never want to look directly into a laser beam like this) (e) How would the location of the maxima change if one slit was covered by a thin film with higher index of refraction that shifted the phase of light leaving the slit by π? Would the separation change? 3. Combined two source interference and

Explanation:

λ

given λ = 700 nm

a) for first maxima, d*sin(θ) =  λ

sin(theta) = λ/d

= 700*10^-9/(0.025*10^-3)

= 0.028

theta θ = sin^-1(0.028)

= 1.60 degrees

b) given R = 1 m,

delta_y = λ*R/d

= 700*10^-9*1/(0.025*10^-3)

= 0.028 m or 2.8 cm

c) for first maxima, d*sin(θ) = λ

sin(θ) = λ/d

= 700*10^-9/(2.5*10^-3)

= 0.00028

theta = sin^-1(0.00028)

= 0.0160 degrees

d) R = 25 mm = 0.025 m

δ_y = λ*R/d

= 700*10^-9*0.025/(2.5*10^-3)

= 7*10^-6 m or 7 micro m

e) No. But the position of maxima and minima will be shifted.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
