Physics

  1. The indices of refraction for the fast and slow axes of quartzwith 589 nm light are 1.5462 and 1.5553, respectively.

    1. (a) By what fraction of a wavelength is the e-ray retarded,relative to the o-ray, for every

      wavelength of travel in quartz?

    2. (b) What is the minimum thickness of quartz needed tomanufacture a quarter-wave plate

      (QWP)?

    3. (c) Imagine that the thickness found in part (b) turned out tobe too thin for the QWP to be

      durable and you want to manufacture a QWP with a thickness of atleast 0.725 mm. What will be the thickness of the thinnest possibleQWP that will be larger than 0.725 mm?
