Week 13

Read: Producing and detecting polarization (Chap. 22),

PHY 202 Lecture: Maxwell's equations
HW:
  1. Brewster's angle and refractive index (Ex. 22.1),
  2. Interference practice problem: Red light (713 nm in vacuum) is used in a Young's 2 slit experiment with slits separated by 120 microns. The screen is 2.75 meters from the slit plate. Find the distance, y, on the screen between the central bright fringe and the third order (n = 3) bright fringe. (answer: 4.9 cm)
