- A transmission grating has 2550 lines/cm. Consider a beam of monochromatic light normal to the surface. It is found that the angle of the first-order bright fringe is 10 degrees. What is the wavelength of the light? (in nm) OA: 681.0 OB: 796.7 OC: 932.2 OD: 1090.7 OE: 1276.1 OF: 1493.0 OG: 1746.8 OH: 2043.8arrow_forwardA student performs a double-slit interference experiment. The student records the fact that a third-order dark spot is located at an angle of 20.11 degrees for a given light source. The wavelength of light is then decreased by 40.0nm, and the student records the fact that the second-order dark spot is now located at an angle of 11.17 degrees. What is the slit separation?arrow_forwardMonochromatic red light with a wavelength of 660nm is incident on a pair of narrow slits that are separated by a distance of 4.00×10^4 *m. A viewing screen is placed a distance of 120cm behind the slits to observe the intensity pattern of the light after passing through the slits. a) Relative to the center of the pattern, where is the center of the third bright fringe?arrow_forward
- Laser light of wavelength 627.0 nm passes through a double-slit arrangement at the front of a lecture room, reflects off a mirror 29.2 m away at the back of the room, and then produces an interference pattern on a screen at the front of the room.

- In a single-slit diffraction pattern, the central fringe is 480 times as wide as the slit. The screen is 16,000 times farther from the slit than the slit is wide. What is the ratio X/W, where is the wavelength of the light shining through the slit and W is the width of the slit? Assume that the angle that locates a dark fringe on the screen is small, so that sin is approximately equal to tan (). Number Unitsarrow_forwardA diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 556 nm. Determine the angle that locates the first dark fringe when the width of the slit is (a) 2.3 × 10-4 m and (b) 2.3 × 10-6 m.arrow_forwardLight is sent through a single slit of width w = 0.52 mm. On a screen, which is L = 1.9 m from the slit, the width of the central maximum is D = 5.2 mm. a) The angle of the first dark fringe theta dark.
