3 m
4 m
What does your eye adjust to produce sharp images of objects arranged at many different distances in front of it?

What property of light does not change as a laser pointer’s beam passes from air into water?
Wavelength
Speed
Color
Intensity
Suppose a single beam of green light(h = 510 nm) is split into equal amplitude components by having the light pass through two narrow slits. The intensity of either component by itself on a viewing screen(measured by covering the other component’s slit) is Io = 25 mW/m2. What is the intensity of both components together if the light from one slit travels 6885 nm further than that from the other slit?
0
25 mW/m^2
50
100
The same setup is used as in the previous question except this time the green laser is swapped out for a red (theta = 650 nm) laser with the same power. What is the intensity of light in the "forward direction"' i.e., for theta= 0, on the viewing screen?
0 mW/m^2
25
How does the distance of separation between bright dots using the green laser, delta yG compare to the separation using the red laser, delta yR Hint: angles are generally quite small for this application, so sin theta ~ tan theta ~ theta.
yG/yR = .78

222 m
.24 mm

Sound and light waves both exhibit all but one of the behaviors below. Which is the odd one out?
Refraction
Polarization
Reflection
Diffraction
Intensity is proportional to (amplitude)^2, and it decreases with separation from the source as 1/(distance)^2. Which types of waves follow these behaviors?
Light and sound

Neither
Initially unpolarized light passed through three successive high quality Polaroid sheets. Sheets 2 and 3 have axes of polarizations with respect to that of the first polarizer of 45◦ and 90◦, respectively. What fraction of the initial intensity passes through all three sheets?
1/2
1/4
1/8
Similar to the previous question, initially unpolarized light passed through three successive high quality Polaroid sheets. This time the order of sheets 2 and 3 is flipped; and they have axes of polarizations with respect to that of the first polarizer of 90◦ and 45◦, respectively. What fraction of the initial intensity passes through all three sheets?
When you view the legendary Peter Nelson as the object shown in picture (A) at a distance from your eyes that is greater than the positive focal length of their converging lenses, the actual real images produced on their retinas is closest to which picture?
A
