Consider the following:
(i) blue light of wavelength 450 nm, traveling through water

(ii) yellow light of wavelength 580 nm, traveling through air

(iii) red light of wavelength 670 nm, traveling through glass

a) Calculate the speeds of each color of light in their respective mediums.
b) Rank from slowest-to-fastest these colors of light in their respective mediums.

c) Rank from slowest-to-fastest these colors of light in vacuum.

Expert Solution

In given problem Speed of color can be find using below formula

.

Where V= speed of color in medium

C= speed of color in Vacuum=3*108 m/s

All the colors travel with same speed (3*108 m/s) in Vacuum.

A photoelectric experiment was performed by separately shining a laser at 450 nm (blue light) and a laser at 560 nm (yellow light) on a clean metal surface and measuring the number and kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. Which light would generate more electrons? Which light would eject electrons with greater kinetic energy? Assume that the same number of photons is delivered to the metal surface by each laser and that the frequencies of the laser lights exceed the...

Blue light of wavelength 470 nm is used to illuminate a pair of narrow slits that are 0.020 mm apart and 1.60 m from a screen. (a) What is the angular position of the second-order minimum (dark spot)? (b) What is the distance on the screen between the central maximum and the second-order minimum? (c) The reason there is a dark spot at this location on the screen is because light from one slit has to travel further than light...
