Absorption filters work by absorbing specific wavelengths of light, while allowing others to pass through. Interference filters, on the other hand, work by selectively reflecting or transmitting specific wavelengths of light by exploiting the wave nature of light. This allows interference filters to provide sharper and more precise wavelength selection compared to absorption filters.

What is observed when a red filter is placed between a source of light and a double slit?

The red filter will only allow red light to pass through. When red light is used in the double slit experiment, the interference pattern will be primarily red in color. The positions of the interference fringes will not change, but the color of the light observed will be red.


Why there is a difference in phase between sign waves in a low pass filter?

In a low pass filter, higher frequency components are attenuated more than lower frequency components. This results in a phase shift for the different frequency components, causing a difference in the phase between sine waves of different frequencies. This phase shift occurs because the filter delays higher frequency signals more than lower frequency signals.


What happens to green light if it passes through a cyan filter?

If green light passes through a cyan filter, the filter will absorb some of the green light and allow the rest to pass through. The transmitted light will appear as a slightly dimmed green color due to the absorption of some of the green wavelengths by the filter.


What is the driving force of different unit operations?

The driving force of different unit operations can vary depending on the specific process involved. For example, in distillation, the driving force is the difference in vapor pressure between the components being separated. In filtration, the driving force is the pressure difference across the filter medium. In heat exchangers, the driving force is the temperature difference between the two fluids exchanging heat.


What is the difference between reflection and absorption?

Reflection is when a wave of light bounces away from the material, depending on the material it may maintain its strength. However absorbtion is when the beam of light hits a material and does not bounce back. To explain why light does not bounce back (becomes absorbed) you will need to know about the colour spectrum. A wave of white light contains, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Certain coloured materials will absorb and reflect certain colours of the colour spectum. So say we aim our wave of light at a black filter. Black will absorb every colour in the colour spectum, thus not allowing for any reflection.
