Question

Light of wavelength 764.4 nm is sent along a route of length 12410 nm. The route is then filled with a medium having an index of refraction of 1.400. In degrees, by how much does the medium phase-shift the light? Give (a) the full shift and (b) the equivalent shift that has a value greater than O and less than 360°.

Step 1

The wavelength in a medium can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{n} \] where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength in vacuum (764.4 nm) and \(n\) is the index of refraction (1.400). \[ \lambda' = \frac{764.4 \, \text{nm}}{1.400} \approx Show more…
