- Light with wavelength å passes through a narrow slit of width w and is seen on a screen which is located at a distance D in front of the slit. The first minimum of the diffraction pattern is at distanced from the middle of the central maximum. Calculate the wavelength of light if VAD. Give your D=1.3 m, d=1 mm and w = answer in nanometers.arrow_forwardFringes 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).arrow_forwardYou 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 cmarrow_forward
- In a double-slit interference experiment, the light source is a visible laser with wavelength 4.31E-7 m, the distance between slits is 9.51E-4m, and a screen is 2.09 m away from the slits. What is the distance between the central bright fringe and a dark fringe resulting from a 5π phase difference between light from the two slits (in m)?arrow_forwardIn a double-slit interference experiment, the light source is a visible laser with wavelength 7.13E-7 m, the distance between slits is 5.42E-4m, and a screen is 5.38 m away from the slits.
