A laser light source with wavelength λ = 545 nm is incident on a diffraction grating (as in the figure). The grating has 495 slits per mm. An observation screen is a distance L = 0.35 m from the grating. What is the separation between individual slits in the grating? Be careful with units: 1 nm = 10-9 m, 1 mm = 10-3 m, and 1 cm = 10-2 m. d = nm What is the distance y along the screen where the first-order diffraction peak is observed? y= cm source grating m=1
Light of wavelength 600 nm passes through a single slit and produced a diffraction pattern on a screen that is 2.0 m from the slit. The the first dark fringe in the diffraction pattern is 22 cm from the center of the pattern. Your task is to find the width of the split.
You perform a double-slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. You set your slit spacing at 1.05 mm and place your screen 8.51 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.63 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength i expressed in nanometers? = nm
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

A double slit experiment is performed where the two slits are separated by 0.134 mm. Visible light of 532 nm passes through the slits and falls onto a screen 4.00 m from the slits. a) What is the distance along the screen from the central maximum to the nearest minimum? ________________________ b) What is the angular position (in degrees) of the third-order maximum, relative to the central maximum? ________________________ c) What are some other wavelengths of light that would have maxima located at the same position as the third-order maximum for 532 nm light? List at least four wavelengths, along with the order of the maximum, and the type of light (visible, infrared, etc). Note that UV is from 10-380 nm, visible is from 380-750 nm, and IR is from 750 nm – 1 mm. Wavelength Order Type of light
In a Young's double slit experiment the wavelength of light is ?λ, separation between the slits is ?a and the distance to the screen is ?D. Give an expression for the interference fringe width ?w on screen if ?≫?D≫a. For Greek letters such as ?λ use the text equivalent - e.g. "lambda" (without the quotes, e.f. for ??Dλ use D*lambda).
