At dark areas in an interference pattern, the light waves have
canceled. Thus, there is zero intensity at these regions and,
therefore, no energy is arriving. Consequently, when light waves
interfere and form an interference pattern,
(a) energy conservation is violated because energy disappears in
the dark areas
(b) energy transferred by the light is transformed to another type of
energy in the dark areas
(c) the total energy leaving the slits is distributed among light and
dark areas and energy is conserved.
Question 40:
Intense white light is incident on a diffraction grating that has 600
lines/mm.
(a) What is the highest order in which the complete visible
spectrum can be seen with this grating?

(b)What is the angular separation between the violet edge (400

nm) and the red edge (700 nm) of the first-order spectrum
produced by the grating?

Question 41:
The hydrogen spectrum has a red line at 656 nm and a violet line at
434 nm. What angular separation between these two spectral lines
is obtained with a diffraction grating that has 4 500 lines/cm?

Question 49:

Light of wavelength 500 nm is incident normally on a diffraction

grating. If the third-order maximum of the diffraction pattern is
observed at 32.0,
(a) What is the number of rulings per centimeter for the grating?

(b)Determine the total number of primary maxima that can be

observed in this situation.

A photoelectric effect is conducted, and the results are graphed in

the following kinetic energy versus frequency graph. Use the graph
below
to answer
questions (a)
& (b)

(a). Which answer below correctly states the work function, the
threshold frequency and the value of Plancks constant as calculated
from these experimental results?

(b). If the photoelectric material is replaced with a new material that

has a greater work function, how will the graph change?
A. The graph will not change at all.
B. The x-intercept will remain the same, but the slope of the
graph will decrease.
C. The x-intercept will remain the same, but the slope of the
graph will increase.
D. The x-intercept will change, but the slope of the graph will
remain the same.
E. Both the x-intercept and the slope of the graph will increase.
