Question

Transcribed Image Text:Light with a wavelength of 646 nm passes through two slits and forms
an interference pattern on a screen 8.75 m away. The distance between
the two second- order bright fringe is 10.32 cm. What will be the
distance between the central bright fringe and the third-order
minimum?

- Light is sent through a single slit of width w = 0.52 mm. On a screen, which is L = 1.9 m from the slit, the width of the central maximum is D = 5.2 mm. a) The angle of the first dark fringe theta dark.
