Reading quiz Which of the following is NOT true of the 3D “wave vector”? a. a.Its magnitude is equal to 2  /. b. b.In a plane wave, it points in the same direction everywhere in space. c. c.In a spherical wave, it points in the same direction everywhere in space. d. d.It tells us which way the wave is going. e. e.In 1D it reduces to the wave number k.

Waves in 3-dimensions Plane waves a. a.polarization Wave vector a. a.direction of wave Spherical waves General Form Specific Example

Student-designed problem: Transverse Wave What direction do you want the wave to be traveling in? What direction do you want the wave to be oscillating in? What wavelength do you want the wave to have? What do you want the wave’s amplitude to be? What frequency (or velocity) do you want the wave to have? What do you want the overall phase of the wave to be?

Lasers What makes a laser special? (answers from class) Some of my answers: a. a.Single wavelength b. b.Intense c. c.Collimated d. d.Coherence (spatial, temporal) Actual laser spectrum is over 100  narrower than the width of the red line Blackbody spectrum Laser spectrum
