Условие

Figure 1 shows a Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalon, in which air pressure is tunable. The F-P etalon consists of two glass plates with high-reflectivity inner surfaces. The two plates form a cavity in which light can be reflected back and forth. The outer surfaces of the plates are generally not parallel to the inner ones and do not affect the back-and-forth reflection. The air density in the etalon can be controlled. Light from a Sodium lamp is collimated by the lens L1 and then passes through the F-P etalon. The transmitivity of the etalon is given by T=11+Fsin⁡2(δ/2)T = \dfrac{1}{1 + F\sin^2(\delta/2)}, where F=4R(1−R)2F = \dfrac{4R}{(1-R)^2}, R is the reflectivity of the inner surfaces, δ=4πntcos⁡θλ\delta = \dfrac{4\pi nt\cos\theta}{\lambda} is the phase shift of two neighboring rays, n is the refractive index of the gas, t is the spacing of inner surfaces, θ is the incident angle, and λ is the light wavelength.

Experimental set-up: a Na lamp between magnet poles N and S with field B, lens L1, filter F1, the F-P etalon (two plates at spacing t, gas of index n between them, a pin valve with 'Gas in' and an outlet 'to vacuum pump'), multiply reflected rays at angle θ, lens L2 focusing onto the fringes, and a microscope.
Figure 1

The Sodium lamp emits D1 (λ=589.6nm\lambda = 589.6\mathrm{nm}) and D2 (589nm589\mathrm{nm}) spectral lines and is located in a tunable uniform magnetic field. For simplicity, an optical filter F1 is assumed to only allow the D1 line to pass through. The D1 line is then collimated to the F-P etalon by the lens L1. Circular interference fringes will be present on the focal plane of the lens L2 with a focal length f=30cm. Different fringes have the different incident angle θ\theta. A microscope is used to observe the fringes. We take the reflectivity R= 90% and the inner-surface spacing t=1cm.

Some physical constants: h=6.626×10−34J⋅sh = 6.626\times10^{-34}\mathrm{J\cdot s}, e=1.6×10−19Ce = 1.6\times10^{-19}\mathrm{C}, me=9.1×10−31kgm_e = 9.1\times10^{-31}\mathrm{kg}, c=3.0×108ms−1c = 3.0\times10^{8}\mathrm{ms^{-1}}.

(a) The D1 line (λ=589.6nm\lambda = 589.6\mathrm{nm}) is collimated to the F-P etalon. For the vacuum case (n=1.0), please calculate (i) interference orders mim_i, (ii) incidence angle θi\theta_i and (iii) diameter DiD_i for the first three (i=1, 2, 3) fringes from the center of the ring patterns on the focal plane. [3 т.]

(b) As shown in Fig. 2, the width ε\varepsilon of the spectral line is defined as the full width of half maximum (FWHM) of light transmitivity T regarding the phase shift δ\delta. The resolution of the F-P etalon is defined as follows: for two wavelengths λ\lambda and λ+Δλ\lambda + \Delta\lambda, when the central phase difference Δδ\Delta\delta of both spectral lines is larger than ε\varepsilon, they are thought to be resolvable; then the etalon resolution is λ/Δλ\lambda/\Delta\lambda when Δδ=ε\Delta\delta = \varepsilon. For the vacuum case, the D1 line (λ=589.6nm\lambda = 589.6\mathrm{nm}), and because of the incident angle θ≈0\theta \approx 0, take cos⁡θ≈1.0\cos\theta \approx 1.0, please calculate:

(i) the width ε of the spectral line.

(ii) the resolution λ/Δλ\lambda/\Delta\lambda of the etalon. [3 т.]

(c) As shown in Fig. 1, the initial air pressure is zero. By slowly tuning the pin valve, air is gradually injected into the F-P etalon and finally the air pressure reaches the standard atmospheric pressure. On the same time, ten new fringes are observed to produce from the center of the ring patterns on the focal plane. Based on this phenomenon, calculate the refractive index of air nairn_{air} at the standard atmospheric pressure. [1 т.]

(d) Energy levels splitting of Sodium atoms occurs when they are placed in a magnetic field. This is called as the Zeeman effect. The energy shift given by ΔE=mjgkμBB\Delta E = m_j g_k \mu_B B, where the quantum number mjm_j can be J, J-1, …, -J+1, -J, J is the total angular quantum number, gkg_k is the Landé factor, μB=he4πme\mu_B = \dfrac{he}{4\pi m_e} is Bohr magneton, h is the Plank constant, e is the electron charge, mem_e is the electron mass, B is the magnetic field. As shown in Fig. 3, the D1 spectral line is emitted when Sodium atoms jump from the energy level 2P1/2^{2}\mathrm{P}_{1/2} down to 2S1/2^{2}\mathrm{S}_{1/2}. We have J=12J = \dfrac{1}{2} for both 2P1/2^{2}\mathrm{P}_{1/2} and 2S1/2^{2}\mathrm{S}_{1/2}. Therefore, in the magnetic field, each energy level will be split into two levels. We define the energy gap of two splitting levels as ΔE1\Delta E_1 for 2P1/2^{2}\mathrm{P}_{1/2} and ΔE2\Delta E_2 for 2S1/2^{2}\mathrm{S}_{1/2} respectively (ΔE1<ΔE2\Delta E_1 \lt \Delta E_2). As a result, the D1 line is split into 4 spectral lines (a, b, c, and d), as showed in Fig. 3. Please write down the expression of the frequency (ν\nu) of four lines a, b, c, and d. [2 т.]

Energy-level diagram: level 2P1/2 split into m_j = 1/2 and -1/2 (gap ΔE1) and level 2S1/2 split into 1/2 and -1/2 (gap ΔE2); unsplit 589.6 nm transition on the left; four downward transitions labelled a, b (ending on 1/2) and c, d (ending on -1/2).
Figure 3

(e) As shown in Fig. 4, when the magnetic field is turned on, each fringe of the D1 line will split into four sub-fringes (1, 2, 3, and 4). The diameter of the four sub-fringes near the center is measured as D1D_1, D2D_2, D3D_3, and D4D_4. Please give the expression of the splitting energy gap ΔE1\Delta E_1 of 2P1/2^{2}\mathrm{P}_{1/2} and ΔE2\Delta E_2 of 2S1/2^{2}\mathrm{S}_{1/2}. [3 т.]

Fringe pattern for B=0 (rings of order m-1, m, m, m-1) and for B≠0, where each ring splits into four sub-fringes numbered 1, 2, 3, 4; the diameters D1, D2, D3, D4 of the sub-fringes are marked.
Figure 4

(f) For the magnetic field B=0.1T, the diameter of four sub-fringes is measured as: D1=3.88mmD_1 = 3.88\mathrm{mm}, D2=4.05mmD_2 = 4.05\mathrm{mm}, D3=4.35mmD_3 = 4.35\mathrm{mm}, and D4=4.51mmD_4 = 4.51\mathrm{mm}. Please calculate the Landé factor gk1g_{k1} of 2P1/2^{2}\mathrm{P}_{1/2} and gk2g_{k2} of 2S1/2^{2}\mathrm{S}_{1/2}. [3 т.]

(g) The magnetic field on the sun can be determined by measuring the Zeeman effect of the Sodium D1 line on some special regions of the sun. One observes that, in the four split lines, the wavelength difference between the shortest and longest wavelength is 0.012nm by a solar spectrograph. What is the magnetic field B in this region of the sun? [2 т.]

(h) A Light- Emitting Diode (LED) source with a central wavelength λ=650nm\lambda = 650\mathrm{nm} and spectral width Δλ=20nm\Delta\lambda = 20\mathrm{nm} is normally incident (θ=0\theta = 0) into the F-P etalon shown in Fig. 1. For the vacuum case, find (i) the number of lines in transmitted spectrum and (ii) the frequency width Δν\Delta\nu of each line? [3 т.]
