23.6 23.6 Exercise 32. A convex lens of focal length 15.0 cm is used as a magnifying glass. At what distance from a postage stamp should you hold this lens to get a magnification of +2.00? +draw ray diagram 36. An object’s distance from a converging lens is ten times the focal length. How far is the image from the focal point? Express the answer as a fraction of the focal length. +draw ray diagram Combinations of thin lenses object image, image, lens 2 lens 1 = object, lens 2 Exercise 41. Two converging lenses, each of focal length 15.0 cm, are placed 40.0 cm apart, and an object is placed 30.0 cm in front of the first. Where is the final image formed, and what is the magnification of the system? 23.7 lens & mirror aberrations (read) Where is the observer? www College Physics W04 Prof. Kinoshita Chapter 24 Wave optics conditions for interference Young's double slit experiment change of phase due to reflection interference in thin films 24.2 Young's double-slit interference (read description) diffraction single-slit diffraction diffraction grating polarization of light waves Schematic w ordinary light source ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 24.1 conditions for interference (read) EM waves - high frequencies -> to observe interference, need 1. The sources must be coherent – that is, they must maintain a constant phase with respect to each other. 2. The waves must have identical wavelengths.

A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.250 mm are illuminated by the green component from a mercury vapor lamp (wavenength = 546.1 nm). The interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.20 m from the plane of the parallel slits.
