Textbook Question
Chapter 35, Problem 27PQ
A thread must have a uniform thickness of 0.525 mm. To check the thickness of the thread, you can illuminate it with a laser of wavelength 625.8 nm. A diffraction pattern like the one produced by a single slit forms on a screen.
- a. If the screen is 3.00 m from the thread, how far apart are the fifth-order minima from one another?
- b. If the thread's thickness increases by 20%, how far apart will the fifth-order minima be?
