Question
Monochromatic light of wavelength å is incident on a pair of slits separated by 2.45 × 10¬4 m, and forms an interference pattern on a screen placed 1.85 m away from the slits. The first-order bright
fringe is 4.42 mm from the center of the central maximum.
(a) Draw a picture, labeling the angle 0 and the legs of the right triangle associated with the first-order bright fringe. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.)

(b) Compute the tangent of the angle 0 associated with the first-order bright fringe.
tan (0) =
(c) Find the angle corresponding to the first-order bright fringe and compute the sine of that angle.
sin 01
=
Are the sine and tangent of the angle comparable in value? Does your answer always hold true? Explain.
