A cylindrical transparent vessel of height hhRves, where Rves is the radius of the vessel, is filled with an ideal gas of molar mass μ at a temperature T and a pressure p0. The dependence of the refractive index n of the gas on its density ρ obeys the law n=1+αρ. The vessel is rotated at an angular velocity ω about its axis. A narrow parallel beam of light of radius rbeam is incident along the axis of the vessel.

Determine the radius R of the spot on the screen placed at right angles to the vessel axis at a distance L behind the vessel, assuming that the change in the gas pressure at each point of the vessel due to rotation is small as compared with p0. The effect of the end faces of the vessel on the path of the rays should be neglected.

The beam from an argon laser (of wavelength 515 nm) has a diameter d of 3.00 mm and a continuous energy output rate of 4.00 W. The beam is focused onto a diffuse surface by a lens whose focal length f is 3.50 cm. A diffraction pattern is formed, the radius of the central disk being given by R=1.22fλd. The central disk can be shown to contain 84% of the incident power. (a) What is the radius of the central disk? (b) What is the average intensity (power per unit area) in the incident beam? (c) What is the average intensity in the central disk?

Remote objects are viewed through a converging lens with a focal length F=9 cm placed at a distance a=36 cm in front of the eye.

Estimate the minimum size of the screen that should be placed behind the lens so that the entire field of view is covered. Where should the screen be placed? Assume that the radius r of the pupil is approximately 1.5 mm.
