Thomas Young demonstrated his double slit experiment using a single slit illuminating a double slit. Explain why did he use a single slit rather than directly illuminating double slit with the sunlight. Select one: a. This was done in order to reduce the intensity of light. b. This was done in order to obtain as coherent as possible source of light. c. This was done in order to select a certain wavelength of light. Clear my choice

(a) What is the minimum angular spread of a 633-nm wavelength He-Ne laser beam that is originally 1.00 mm in diameter? (b) If this laser is aimed at a mountain cliff 15.0 km away, how big will the illuminated spot be? (c) How big a spot would be illuminated on the Moon, neglecting atmospheric effects?
