For the statements below, please identify if they ar True or False. If False, please explain in one or two sentences why they are False.a) A diffraction grating is like a double slit, however, it have many more slits.
Keeping the slit width and screen distance constant, how does the light colour such as blue, red and green affects the fringe spacing. Briefly explain your answers in words
An interference is created with a diffraction grating and a laser. (A large number of slits perinch.) What happens to the interference pattern produced if the separation of the slits decreases?What happens to the pattern if instead the wavelength decreases? Explain. Include both diagramsand equations to demonstrate your answer
Michelson's interferometer played an important role in improving our understanding of light, and it has many practical uses today. For example, it may be used to measure distances precisely. Suppose the mirror labeled 1 in the figure below is movable. If the laser light has a wavelength of 654.0 nm, how many fringes will pass across the detector if mirror 1 is moved just 1.960 mm? fringesIf you can easily detect the passage of just one fringe, how accurately can you measure the displacement of the mirror? nm
please draw diagrams, show all work, I will report if you copy off chegg, please explain throughly thank you! You are designing a diffraction grating, and have decided that when the grating is used with a white light source, both the entire first and second order rainbows (visible part of the spectrum) should be visible within 30° of the central maximum. In order to have the machine shop produce your grating, you need to calculate the line density of the grating. You also wonder how many complete rainbows could potentially be seen with this grating. Your textbook says that the visible light has wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm.
Following figure shows the positions of the first bright fringes B, and B, on either side of the central bright fringe O in Young's double slit experiment. Find the wavelength of monochromatic light used. Screen B, (M is the mid 1 mm M point of S,S,) B, -D=1m S.
The light intensity vs. position graph of a double-slit experiment is shown below. The graph was made with helium-neon laser light of wavelength 640 nm shined through two very narrow slits separated by a small distance. The slits were 2.0 meters away from the probe. What is the spacing between the two slits, in mm? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Light level allian Position of probe (mm)

Explain the topic belows. General Conditions for Interference For sustained interference of light to occur, the following conditions must be met: 1. Coherent sources of light are needed. 2. Amplitudes and intensities must be nearly equal to produce sufficient contrast between maxima and minima. 3. The source must be small enough to produce wide fringes. 4. The interfering sources must be near enough to produce wide fringes. 5. The source and screen must be far enough to produce wide fringes. 6. The source must emit light in the same state of polarization. 7. The source must be monochromatic.
As in the previous question, the figure below shows how a double-slit interference pattern is produced on a screen for monochromatic light. P Screen Wavefront of mono- chromatic light D The light wavelength is A = 600 nm and P is the first dark spot on the screen (there are no other dark spots between O and P). If the separation between the slits is d=9000 nm and the distance to the screen is D=3 m, what is the distance Y between O and P in %3D m?
3S-1 A line of 3 point sources of light is a distance D from a screen as shown below. three. sources D screen At point P on the screen directly in front of the three sources, the waves from all three sources arrive in phase with each other and the phasor diagram looks like: A₁ A₂ A3 Apet The difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources is 0°. Also, the difference in phase between Anct and A₁ is 0°. (The net amplitude in this case is Anci-3A where 'A' is the amplitude of each of the 3 individual phasors.) a) Sketch the phasor diagram for the waves arriving at the screen from the three sources at a point on the screen where the difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources is 45°. Show on your figure an arrow that represents Anet and the angle of Anet from the first phasor. Write the numerical value of 0 on the figure.
