a) Derive Snell's law of refraction using Huygen's wave theory.

b) Monochromatic light of wavelength 650 nm falls normally on a slit of width 1.3 x 10-4 and the resulting Fraunhofer diffraction is obtained on a screen. Find the angular width of the central maxima.


a)

Consider a plane wavefront AB incident on an interface XY of denser medium. Let n1 and n2 be the refractive indices of thes media such that n2<n1.

Let the wavefront reach B to C in time t with velocity u1,
then BC = v1t

Let velocity of wavefront from A in denser medium be v2, then in t second the distance covered will be, AD = v2t[ note v2 < v1]

Then,

BC over AD equals v subscript 1 over v subscript 2
In increment ACB comma space space space BC space equals space AC space sin space straight i, and

In space increment space ACD comma space AD space equals space AC space sin space straight r


rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator sin space straight i over denominator sin space straight r end fraction space equals BC over AD equals straight v subscript 1 over straight v subscript 2

But, straight v subscript 1 over straight v subscript 2 space equals space c over u subscript 2 x u subscript 1 over c equals n subscript 2 over n subscript 1

So, fraction numerator sin space straight i over denominator sin space straight r end fraction space equals space n subscript 2 over n subscript 1, is the Snell's law of refraction.

b) Given,

Wavelength, straight lambda space equals space 650 space nm space equals space 650 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 9 end exponent space straight m
a = 1.3 x 10-4 cm = 1.3 x 10-6 m

Using the formula,

Angular width, straight theta space equals space straight lambda over straight a
                      equals fraction numerator 650 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 9 end exponent over denominator 1.3 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent end fraction

equals space 6500 over 13 x space 10 to the power of negative 9 end exponent space x space 10 to the power of 6

equals space 500 space x space 10 to the power of negative 3 end exponent

equals space 0.5 space r a d
