Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
Light is propagating is a direction directly away from you, with an electric field that appears to be rotating in its orientation in the counterclockwise direction. The polarization state of such a wave is:
Responda
  • Randomly polarized.
  • Plane polarized.
  • Left-circularly polarized.
  • Right-circularly polarized.

Questão 2

Questão
A birefringent material is best described as:
Responda
  • Having two different transmission axes.
  • Having atoms with two different resonant frequecies.
  • Circularly polarizing natural light.
  • Having two different indices of refraction.

Questão 3

Questão
In a Young's Double Slit interference pattern, the fourth maximum has an irradiance that is roughly:
Responda
  • As bright as the central maximum.
  • Half as bright as the central maximum.
  • 8% as bring as the central maximum.
  • 0.08% as bright as the central maximum.

Questão 4

Questão
Which of the following is true for all lenses:
Responda
  • All magnified images are inverted.
  • All virtual images are inverted.
  • All real images are inverted.
  • All diminished images are inverted.

Questão 5

Questão
The radius of curvature of a convex mirror of focal length -8 centimeters is:
Responda
  • -4 centimeters.
  • 16 centimeters.
  • 4 centimeters.
  • -16 centimeters.

Questão 6

Questão
Virtual images are so called because:
Responda
  • Light rays that form the image only appear to come from the position where the image is.
  • The image is too small to be seen with the naked eye.
  • The image can only be projected onto a screen.
  • The image is located behind the lens or mirror.

Questão 7

Questão
The spectrum observed when white light is shone through a prism is best explained by:
Responda
  • Diffraction
  • Dichroism
  • Distortion
  • Dispersion

Questão 8

Questão
The irradiance of a light ray is proportional to:
Responda
  • The frequency of the light ray.
  • The frequency of the light ray squared.
  • The amplitude of the electric field of the light ray.
  • The amplitude of the electric field of the light ray squared.

Questão 9

Questão
One reason why the sky appears blue is because:
Responda
  • Much more red light than blue light is absorbed by air atoms.
  • Red light is reflected by the atmosphere.
  • Blue light is scattered to a greater extent than red light.
  • Higher energy light waves have more penetration through the atmosphere.

Questão 10

Questão
Which of the following is true: I) A reflected beam always has the same irradiance as the incident beam; II) a reflected beam lies in the same plane as the incident beam; III) a reflected beam always makes an angle θ = sin-1(n t/n i) with the normal to the interface.
Responda
  • I only.
  • I and II.
  • II and III.
  • II only.
