- OResources You illuminate a slit with a width of 73.5 µm with a light of wavelength 735 nm and observe the resulting diffraction pattern on a screen that is situated 2.87 m from the slit. What is the width, in centimeters, of the pattern's central maximum? cm width:arrow_forwardIf you use chat gpt will report and give downvotesarrow_forwardLight of wavelength 674 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum on one side of the central maximum and the first minimum on the other side is 1.31°. What is the width of the slit? Number i Unitsarrow_forward
- A blue light of 450 nm passes through a single slit and the first dark bands on either side of the center are separated by 53.0°. What is the width of the slit?arrow_forwardA flat screen is located 0.67 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 510 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit and produces a diffraction pattern. The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is 0.051 m. What is the width of the slit? Number i Unitsarrow_forwardShown in the figure below is single slit experiment. Monochromatic light of wavelength A, = 6.7e-07 meters comes in from the left and passes through the slit. The result is a pattern of bright and dark bands visible on a screen at a distance D = 3.58 meters away from the slit. The distance between the central maximum and the first dark fringe is y, = 0.0442 meters. Single Screen Slit dark dark D Determine the width of the slit. a = meters If the light is changed to a different color Ànew 4.75e-07 meters, the diffraction pattern changes. What is the new location of the first dark band? ynew = meters WARNING: The drawing is not to scale.arrow_forward
- Light with wavelength i 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.
