where A0and B0are empirically determined constants and 0is the wavelength of light in a vacuum.
If A0= 1:40,B0= 2:5104( nm)2, determine the phase and group velocities at 0= 500 nm.

where A 0 and B 0 are empirically determined constants and  0 is the wavelength of light in a vacuum. If A 0 = 1: 40 , B 0 = 2: 5  104 ( nm)^2 , determine the phase and group velocities at  0 = 500 nm.

Approximate the empirical constants A 0 and B 0 in Cauchyís equation (given in #1) and use them to evaluate the refractive index at  0 = 589:59 nm (Fraunhoferís ìDî line); compare the results to the actual values: Line  0 [ nm] n for Crown n for Flint D 589 : 59 1 : 51666 1 : 70100

Two equations in two unknowns:

  1. (P^3 15-1) Initially unpolarized light passes in turn through three linear polarizers with transmission axes at 0 , 30 , and 60 , respectively, relative to the horizontal axis. What is the irradiance of the product light expressed as a percentage of the unpolarized light irradiance? this is Malusí law implemented twice, plus recognizing that the irradiance is the squared magnitude of the amplitude. The Örst polarizer reduces the irradiance by half and the light is linearly polarized horizontally, so the Jones vector after the Örst polarizer is:

E 1 =

r I 0 2

The Jones matrix for the second polarizer is:

Comparison of the realistic expression for Malusí Law (black solid line) to the ideal expression (red dashed line) for a = 0: 95 , = 0: 05. Note that the expressions are equal at  = 45.

which shows that the sensitivity of the amount of transmitted light the the angle of the polarizers has become poor.
