Intensities in Wave Optics: (Russia TST Y2021, Pr.2)
Part-B
A plane monochromatic wave with a wavelength λ of intensity I0 is
incident on a lens of diameter D and focal length F parallel to the lens
axis.
1. Estimate the spot diameter DF at the focus of the lens.
2. Estimate the IF intensity at the lens focus from energy consid-
erations.
3. Now calculate the answer for the IF intensity at the focus of the
lens exactly. Compare with the previous question.
Part-C
A plane monochromatic wave with wavelength λ and intensity I0 is
incident on an ideal parabolic mirror of parabola parameter p and
diameter D parallel to the mirror axis. This,
1
1. Find the focal length F of the mirror.
2. Estimate the intensity I at the focus of the mirror.
3. By how many times will this value change when the wavelength
is halved?
Part-D
An ideal spherical mirror with a radius R = 1m and a diameter D was
illuminated with a beam of rays with a wavelength of λ = 800nm and
with an intensity of I0 parallel to the axis of the mirror.

Part-E
A normally plane wave is incident on a diffraction grating with a pe-
riod d and a slit width a. Wavelength λ = d/100, plane wave intensity
IS .
3. What fraction of the energy β falls into all the maxima on the
screen, except for the zero one (h ̸= 0)? Calculate the answer for
d = 3a.
