In an optics lab, an experiment is performed using two identical lasers and two identical photodetectors. Each detector is the same fixed distance away from the emitter of each laser. Light emitted from the first laser travels only through air before reaching the detector. Light emitted from the second laser first travels through a 6.56 m long column of diamond before emerging in air and continuing to the detector. The index of refraction of diamond is 2.419.
The lasers each emit a pulse of light simultaneously. What will be the difference in the times of arrival of the two pulses at the detectors (in ns)?

I don't understand Question 5-9
Any information on how to answer these?
The speed of light depends on the medium through which it travels, and it is generally slower in the denser media. Fermat's principle in optics asserts that light travels from one point to another along a path for which the time of travel is minimum. In a uniform medium, where the speed of light remains constant, "shortest time" means "shortest path", and the ray of light follows a...

Question 2 (a) Using the component method, in adding the two vectors: 14 N in the x direction and 13 N at 45° elevation, (b) : (i) Calculate the momentum of a 8000 kg locomotive travelling at 12 m/s. (ii) This locomotive collides with a stationary carriage of mass 2500 kg and they shunt (stick together). What would be the velocity of the combination, assuming there is negligible friction. (iii) Would kinetic energy be conserved in this collision? Show...

question 7 and 8
Purpose To examine the properties of polarized light and the mathematical relationship describing the intensity of linearly polarized light (Malus'law). In addition, the lab will investigate different ways light can be polarized Overview This lab is the first of three labs exploring the properties of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. As discussed in the lecture the electric and magnetic field vectors are mutually perpendicular to each other. Light waves...
