Optics Plates

Optics (diffraction) question?

An opaque ball of diameter D = 40 mm is placed between
a source of light with wavelength l = 0.55 um and a photographic
plate. The distance between the source and the ball is equal to
a = 12 m and that between the ball and the photographic plate
is equal to b = 18 m.
(a) Explain why does it work?
(b) Find the image dimension y' on the plate if the transverse dimension of the source is y = 6.0 mm;
(c) Find the minimum height of irregularities, covering the surface
of the ball at random, at which the ball obstructs light.
(d) Can we put the disk with the same diameter instead of the sphere and get the same effect?

Sounds like the undescribed "it" that "works" refers to Poisson's spot, also known as Arago's spot, a bright spot that is seen at the center of the shadow of a perfectly circular object. In this case we have an image of the source because it's diffuse, not a point source.
A. The spot is the result of constructive interference from light sources (per the Huygens principle) at all points on the periphery of the object. The image is made of all the point sources making up the diffuse source.
I'd suppose simple geometry answers B. y' = 6 mm * 18/12 = 9 mm. But there'll be path length differences delta-L away from the center which will create null rings at radius r and successively odd-integer multiples of r, where delta-L = (odd-integer *) lambda/2, and you should calculate this radius and see if it's less than 9 mm. r ~= sqrt((18+0.275E-6)^2-18^2). I get ~ 3.15 mm.
C. Now we have to find the difference between the radius and the point at which the two tangent rays intersect, which should be simple, involving trig and Pythagorus. This tells how high the irregularities should be. Since the source is diffuse, it might get tricky, but I think it's valid to consider it point-by-point. However, the irregularities should also be fine-grained enough in areal distribution not to introduce half-wavelength path errors.
D. Should get the same effect from a disk according to the ref.

China Gemstone Physical Attributes Of The Optical Properties

China gemstone's Optical properties

China gemstone physical attributes of the optical properties

Optical properties of gem minerals, including transparency, gloss, color, dispersion, pleochroism, and some special optical effects, which are china gemstone wholesaler of the visible light absorption, reflection, transmission, refraction, interference, scattering, and diffraction effects caused by , and with precious stones chemical composition, crystal structure, aggregate structure closely related, it is a gem identification, evaluation of important content.  

Transparency and gloss jewel

Transparency - is the jewel of light through the procedure, with stones about the chemical composition and structure. The general transparency of gem can be divided into three categories:

Transparency: The gem can be more clearly seen behind the objects, such as crystal, diamonds, etc.;

Translucent: some light through crystal, but not perspective on the back of objects, such as high-quality jade, moonstones, etc.;

Opaque: light basic can not, such as malachite.

Luster - is the ability to reflect light gem surfaces, and its strength is just the opposite of transparency, weak transparency and high gloss gem. The precious stone can be divided into:

Metallic luster: highly reflective, like a shiny surface plating general, such as hematite;

Semi-metallic luster: strong reflection, such as magnetite;

Diamond Gloss: The surface reflectance was stronger than glass, and a brilliant bright feeling, such as diamonds;

Glass luster: only a small part of the light reflection, such as glass, crystal, topaz, etc.;

Turpentine oil sheen and luster: the surface like a grease-like reflectors (such as Crystal's fracture) and similar resin reflective surface (such as the amber of the fracture);

Waxy luster: the reflective, such as serpentine jade class;

Pearl luster: such as pearl-like reflection of light with soft and colorful;

Silk gloss: like a silk-like reflective, as the fibrous aggregation of precious stones (such as tiger eye stone) specific.

1, gem color, multicolor and dispersion

According to the length of the visible light is divided into red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple band, the color is the china jewelry supplier of the absorption of different wavelengths of visible light reflection of different levels. If a gem on the white in the blue and green light absorption, the gem is red hue, it is the result of the remaining mixture of light waves, also known as subtractive. To accurately observe the gem's color, must be the standard in natural light or under white light, be light to avoid causing false colors. In addition to color, the gem was also used to study the saturation and brightness of the term: bright color saturation means a positive correlation between the degree. Such as emerald and malachite green hue with, but the former than the latter to be more bright. Brightness of the brightest color it with the gem itself, the optical properties and processing quality of the. Rare colored gemstones are often asked to pure tone, saturation and high brightness.

Pleochroism - is a result of non-homogeneous anisotropic sapphire crystal in different directions so that different colors show that features two-color and tri-color of the points. Such as sapphire crystal along the direction of the Director of its cylinders were blue and green, blue vertical extension direction, and are thus dichroism; multicolor gemstones strong eye can discern, but most require special gem pleochroism of equipment (such as two-color mirror) be observed.

Dispersion - is a natural light slanting into the medium when the light generated by decomposition of phenomena such as the decomposition of sunlight with a prism into the seven colors can the same reason. Sato will result after the dispersion of precious stones, but the extent of production due to the refractive index of gemstones differ. Each gem can cause dispersion of the capacity as the gem of the dispersion degree, such as diamonds and high dispersion, to produce a brilliant luster, is dazzling; crystal dispersion degree is lower.

2, a special optical effects

Color halo effect - is due to the special arrangement of stones within the material caused by interference between light waves reflected by the presentation of phenomena such as the pearl it will have its unique rainbow-like halo soft colors, the so-called "pearl."

Color effect - refers to the category of precious stones like opal, due to the layered arrangement of the internal rules of microspheres so that natural light diffraction occurs is caused by the phenomenon of colorful Sarkozy, resembles oil painters drawing board.

Moonlight effect - is a kind of light scattering phenomena, such as moonstones (feldspar), due to double within a lattice crystal structure, causing irregular light reflection (scattering), the formation of soft and sweet like the moonlight like a white halo, hazy and with a light blue.

Star effect - refers to the curved surface of the stones into Zhuo under light illumination, showing that the intersection of radiance, six shot, 12 shot of the star-light phenomenon. It is due to stones contain inclusions caused by reflected light directed vertical arc, such as star sapphire, spinel, etc. can be presented Star of Stars.

Cat's eye effect - is Zhuo into the arc of stones, under the light irradiation, showing a banded like the Cat in the pupil with the same light silk-like phenomenon, with the light changes with the location of the observer parallel. The causes is the existence of dense stones arranged in the vertical plane solitary fibrous inclusions of equality, the reflected light from the point of gathering inclusions formed. Stones have a cat eye effect chrysoberyl, tourmaline, apatite, beryl and so on. Among them, chrysoberyl, the most obvious, like cat's eye, the "cat's-eye" Tezhi a chrysoberyl cat's eye effect.

Color effect - is that certain stones under different light source colors to show different phenomena, such as the green variety of chrysoberyl with red, green and two light transmission area in the red light component containing more incandescent light next to so thick ruby red, with green light component in sunlight can make more green china gemstone enriched, so this gem is also known as the "change stone." Thai green sapphire color effect can also occur.
