Question
Interference effects are produced at point P on a screen as a result of direct rays from a 490-nm source and reflected rays off a mirror, as shown in the figure below. If the source is L = 150 m to the left of the screen and h = 2.00 cm above the mirror, find the distance y (in millimeters) to the first dark band above the mirror.

- The following problem must be solved taking into consideration the modification given below: A student holds a laser that emits light of wavelength 545 nm. The laser beam passes though a pair of slits separated by 0.500 mm, in a glass plate attached to the front of the laser. The beam then falls perpendicularly on a screen, creating an interference pattern on it. The student begins to walk directly toward the screen at 2.00 m/s. The central maximum on the screen is stationary. Find the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen. Do not use small angle approximation. Modification: Suppose there is a liquid in the space between the slits and the screen. Give such liquid any refractive index you desire (numerical value). Also suppose that the screen has a finite lenght (give another numerical value). Besides calculating the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen also calculate the initial value of bright fringes according to the…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).
