A beam of light is incident at 30° on a piece of glass in
air. The dispersion of colors spans 1 mm on the bottom
surface of the glass. The thickness of the glass slab is l =
10 cm. The index of refraction for red light is nred =
1.513. Given nviolet > nred· Determine the index of
refraction for violet light.

10 mW of light is incident on a piece of GaAs which is 0.2mm thick. The incident light is a mixture of 5mW at λ1=1.553μm and 5mW at λ2=0.828μm. A total of 7mW mixed light exits out of the GaAs. Assume no reflections at the air/GaAs interface and any light generated by recombination won’t exit the GaAs. What are the absorption coefficients, α, for two different wavelengths?
According to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, humans have cell
receptors called "cones" in their retina that have peak sensitivities in the Red, Green
and Blue wavelength ranges.
When light reflects off a surface, we perceive the color or colors that are
reflected; other colors are absorbed by the material.
Which TWO of the following statements are correct?
Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by
white light, other colors are absorbed and are therefore necessary
for photosynthesis.
If a yellow light illuminates a white book, the reflection will cause
the red and green cones of an observer to be stimulated and will
send a signal to the brain by way of the optic nerve.
If both a red light and a green light illuminate a white book, the
reflection will cause the blue cones of an observer to be
stimulated and will send a signal to the brain by way of the optic
nerve.
Because leaves on a plant reflect green light when illuminated by
white light, the green…
