An investigator is using a laser to illuminate a distant target. He decides that he needs a smaller beam, so he puts a pinhole directly in front of the laser. He finds that this actually spreads the beam out, making matters worse. Explain what is happening.

a. The pinhole has a size comparable with the laser wavelength, so the pinhole refracts the passing laser beam.
b. The pinhole has a size smaller than the laser wavelength, so the pinhole refracts the passing laser beam.
c. The pinhole has a size smaller than the laser wavelength, so the pinhole diffracts the passing laser beam.
d. The pinhole has a size comparable with the laser wavelength, so the pinhole diffracts the passing laser beam.

Electromagnetic induction. a coil of wire contains n turns and has an electrical resistance r. the radius of each turn is a. initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude b0 parallel to the axis of the coil. the magnetic field is then reduced slowly. the current induced in the coil is i. how long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?
