<p><b class="bfseries">NOTE: We will work through this ungraded example in the lesson video below, but you are encouraged to try it on your own first!</b></p><p>
The following video explores an interesting possibility, does light have a dispersion relation? </p><p>
This question arises because of special relativity. The energy-momentum relation of special relativity relates an object's momentum, rest mass, and total energy (of course, we are all familiar with the famous result when [mathjaxinline]p=0[/mathjaxinline]): </p><table id="a0000000002" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]E^2 = (pc)^2 + \left(m c^2\right)^2[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
Now, there is another relation between the energy of light and its angular frequency: </p><table id="a0000000003" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]E = \hbar \omega[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
Finally, using the identity [mathjaxinline]p=\hbar k[/mathjaxinline] and defining [mathjaxinline]\omega _{0}=\dfrac {mc^{2}}{\hbar }[/mathjaxinline], we can express the energy-momentum relation as a relativistic dispersion relation: </p><table id="a0000000004" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\omega ^2 = (kc)^2 + \omega _{0}^2[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>

The video at the end of the previous problem shows that pulsar observations enabled scientists to measure the dispersion of light through the interstellar medium. <b class="bfseries">HOWEVER, the interpretation is NOT that light has a mass, but that the interstellar medium is responsible for the dispersion.</b> </p><p>
Let's backtrack a little and figure out how to obtain this result from a series of measurements. Consider a pulse that is emitted from a source a distance [mathjaxinline]d[/mathjaxinline] away from Earth, and that this pulse is composed of many frequency components. Suppose we measure the difference in arrival time of two frequencies from this source, [mathjaxinline]\omega[/mathjaxinline] and [mathjaxinline]\omega + \Delta \omega[/mathjaxinline], to be [mathjaxinline]\Delta t[/mathjaxinline]. </p><p>
Assume that the dispersion relation is: </p><table id="a0000000002" class="equation" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="7" style="table-layout:auto"><tr><td class="equation" style="width:80%; border:none">[mathjax]\omega = \sqrt {(kc)^{2} + \omega _{0}^{2}}[/mathjax]</td><td class="eqnnum" style="width:20%; border:none"> </td></tr></table><p>
Let's work towards finding and expression for [mathjaxinline]\omega _{0}[/mathjaxinline] in terms of [mathjaxinline]\omega[/mathjaxinline], [mathjaxinline]\Delta \omega[/mathjaxinline], [mathjaxinline]\Delta t[/mathjaxinline], [mathjaxinline]d[/mathjaxinline], and [mathjaxinline]c[/mathjaxinline]. </p>

<p><b class="bfseries">(Part d)</b> Determine the difference in arrival time, [mathjaxinline]\Delta t[/mathjaxinline], between two frequency components, [mathjaxinline]\omega[/mathjaxinline] and [mathjaxinline]\omega + \Delta \omega[/mathjaxinline], that are emitted from this source at the same time, as measured a distance [mathjaxinline]d[/mathjaxinline] from the source. Assume that the difference in the frequencies is small, such that [mathjaxinline]\Delta \omega \ll \omega[/mathjaxinline] (express your answer as a power series, keeping the lowest order term). Express your answer only in terms of <code>d</code>, <code>c</code>, <code>omega</code> for [mathjaxinline]\omega[/mathjaxinline], <code>omega_0</code> for [mathjaxinline]\omega _{0}[/mathjaxinline], and <code>Deltaomega</code> for [mathjaxinline]\Delta \omega[/mathjaxinline]. The answer displayed in the grey box will be clearer if you enclose <code>Deltaomega</code> in parentheses <code>(Deltaomega)</code>, but this is not needed for the answer checker to work correctly. </p>
