A diffraction grating can be used as a "beam-splitter", breaking up the initial beam into multiple bright spots on a distant screen. If the laser you use has a wavelength of 516 nm and the screen is 4 meters away, and you need the spacing between spots to be 14 cm, what is the spacing of slits (lines) you should use on your diffraction grating? Express your answer in lines/mm. Answer:

Irina finds an unlabeled box of fine needles, and wants to determine how thick they are. A standard ruler will not do the job, as each needle is less than a millimeter thick. So, to find the thickness, she uses a needle to poke a hole in a piece of brown construction paper. Then, she positions a 640 nm laser pointer to shine through the hole and project a circular diffraction pattern on a wall 20.2 m away. She then uses her ruler to measure that the central bright circle is 15.7 cm in diameter. What diameter does Irina calculate for the needle?
A double slit interference experiment uses a laser emitting light of two adjacent frequencies v, and v, (v, < v,). The minimum path difference between the interfering beams for which the interference pattern disappears is 12
Babinet's principle says that the diffraction pattern observed when light falls on an aperture of any shape is the same as that obtained when light falls on an object that is the complement of such aperture. A laser with a wavelength of 600 nm is incident on a hair, generating a diffraction pattern with a width of the principal maximum of 10 mm on a screen located 1 m away from the hair. What is the diameter of this wire?

Young's experiment uses a laser with a wavelength λ = 632.8 nm, a slit separation of 0.5 mm and an observation distance of 40 cm. What is the separation of the stripes if the experiment is performed in (a) air (n = 1,0003), (b) a carbon dioxide environment (n = 1,0005), and (c) in water (n = 1,333)?
Fringes in the Thomas Young experiment are produced using sodium light of wavelength 613 nm and two slits which are 1.1 mm apart. If the fringes are formed on a screen 0.9 m away from the slits, how far is the third order bright fringe from the middle of the screen? Give your answer in millimeters (mm).
You measure three segments of the distance between a diffraction slit an the screen on which the pattern forms: x1 = (15.8 ± 0.2) cm, x2 = (6.7 ± 0.1) cm, and x3 = (11.3 ± 0.1). What is the uncertainty of the total distance x1 + x2 + x3? Group of answer choices 0.4 cm 0.5 cm 0.2 cm 0.3 cm 0.1 cm
An electric current through hydrogen gas produces several distinct wavelengths of visible light. What are the wavelengths of the hydrogen spectrum, if they form first-order maxima at angles of 24.2o,25.7o,29.1o,and 41.0o when projected on a diffraction grating having 10,000 lines per centimeter?

When a certain crystal is illuminated with an X-ray source of unknown wavelength, a first-order X-ray diffraction maximum is observed at an angle of 27.1∘∘. (All angles are measured relative to the Bragg plane.) When illuminated with a different source with a known wavelength 0.126 nm, a second-order maximum is detected at 32∘∘. Part A) What is the distance, in nanometers, between the Bragg planes? Part B ) What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the first, source?
Jill is helping her younger brother Nathan set up an exhibit for a Science Fair. Nathan’s exhibit pertains to the wave-particle nature of light waves. He wishes to demonstrate the wave nature of light by displaying the two point interference pattern of red laser light (λ = 648 nm). Nathan has purchased a double slit slide from a science warehouse which has slits separated a distance of 0.125 mm. Nathan has asked Jill to determine the slide-to-screen distance which will result in a 2.0 cm separation between adjacent bright spots. What distance will result in this antinodal spacing?
