1. a) Huygens' Principle. Pick a type of propagation of waves that light rays don't exhibit. Several to pick in the notes. On a sheet of paper, graph the starting wavefront of your choice, and continue with the Huygens' Principle construction of at least 4 additional wavefronts. Does it look like the wave movement can not be described as a ray?

b) Name and describe one of the three processes mentioned that allow you to calculate intensity profile on a viewing screen behind a single slit screen.

c) You perform two experiments with a given laser: First with a single slit of width 1 mμ, and the other with two very narrow slits spaced also by 1 mμ. The viewing screen is two meters away. What will be larger, the width of the central maximum in the single-slit experiment, or the distance between the central maximum and the neighboring maximum in the double-slit experiment? Explain.

d) A pinhole camera is a closed cube that has a pinhole in the center of the front wall and a film on the back wall. If the side of the cube is 10 cm, how wide should the pinhole be for camera not to exhibit significant diffraction effects?

e) What was the principal equipment used in the Michelson-Morley experiment, and what was the conclusion of the experiment?

(1) Radio waves and light are electromagnetic waves and transverse waves that can operate in a medium or in space. What is an Aether or ether? Upon which medium does sound travel the fastest? (2) Some scientists think that ether does exist but does exist in another dimension that we cannot see. Can you elaborate on this?
