- Two slits are separated by 0.370 mm. A beam of 555-nm light strikes the slits, producing an interference pattern. Determine the number of maxima observed in the angular range -32.0° < 0 < 32.0°. maxima Need Help? Read Itarrow_forwardA beam of monochromatic light is diffracted by a slit of width 0.605 mm. The diffraction pattern forms on a wall 1.38 m beyond the slit. The width of the central maximum is 1.75 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light. 402.03 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. nm Need Help?
