Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. Figure below shows a double slit located a distance x from a screen, with the distance from the
center of the screen given by y. The slits are illuminated by light of wavelength A. When the distance
d between the slits is relatively large, there will be numerous bright spots, called fringes.
Using the small angle approximation (where sine0, with 0 in radians), calculate the distance
between fringes in terms of A and the variables shown below.

d.
Answer symbollically using: x,d, and A. Use the orange square root symbol box to enter variables and
greek symbols.

Using the result of part (a), calculate the distance between fringes for 646 –nm light falling on double
slits separated by 0.09 mm, located 2 m from a screen as in Figure.
