Write down an expression for the width of the central bright line on a screen in the single slit diffraction experiment in terms of the diffraction slit (without the quotes) for products (e.g. width d, the distance from the slit to the screen D and the wavelength of light A. Consider D>> d. Please use "*" B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes). Thus for Acose use A* cos theta.

Figure 1 shows the viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation is Δy Suppose the wavelength of the light is 430 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit?
Write down two conditions to obtain the sustained interference fringe pattern of light. What is the effect on the interference fringes in Young’s double slit experiment, when monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?
In a Young's double-slit experiment, the slit separation dis made twice as big (doubled) but the fringe pattern observed on the screen does not change. Which of the following changes would keep the pattern identical when dis doubled? Use a wavelength of light that is half as big but keep the distance from the slits to the screen constant. Use a frequency of light that is twice as big but keep the distance from the slits to the screen constant. Change the distance from the slits to the screen to be half of what it was originally but keep the wavelength of light the same. More than one of the above would work. O None of the above.
