range light with a wavelength of 597 nm passes through a single slit and creates a diffraction pattern on a screen 3.10 m away.  Suppose the linear distance along the screen between the second dark fringe and the third dark fringe is 13.6 cm.  (1) What is the width of the slit?  (2) How many dark fringes will be produced on either side of the central maximum? (3) Find the linear distance on the screen from the central bright fringe to the second bright fringe above i

An instructor directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 550 nm and the slit is 0.230 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.65 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen?  Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider the first dark fringe on either side of the central peak  (m = ±1).  How does its distance relate to the full width of the central maximum? Take care with units. mm (b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen?  Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider two adjacent fringes on one side of the…

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright fringe on a flat screen is 0.0173 m, when the light has a wavelength of 425 nm. Assume that the angles are small enough so that sin(θ)sin(θ) is approximately equal to tan(θ)tan(θ). Find the separation y when the light has a wavelength of 553 nm.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 591 nm. Determine the angle that locates the first dark fringe when the width of the slit is (a)3.3 x 10^-4 m and 3.3 x 10^-6 m

You illuminate a slit with a width of 78.9 μm with a light of wavelength 731 nm and observe the resulting diffraction pattern on a screen that is situated 2.05 m from the slit. What is the width, in centimeters, of the pattern's central maximum?

In an experiment using Young's slits, the distance between the center of the interference pattern and tenth bright fringe on either side of it is 3.44 cm and the distance between the slits and the screen is 2.0 m. If the wavelength of light used is 5.89x10-7m, determine the slits separation.

Using a 685 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.01 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen that the 15th dark fringe is 9.23 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?

Using a 697 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.11 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen that the 11th dark fringe is 8.33 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?
