Shown in the figure below is single slit experiment. Monochromatic light of wavelength ₁ = 5.08e-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 = 3.96 meters away from the slit. The distance between the central maximum and the first dark fringe is y₁ = 0.0484 meters. Single Slit D Screen Y₁ dark dark Determine the width of the slit. a = x meters If the light is changed to a different color an ,= 3.1e-07 meters, the diffraction pattern changes. What is the new location of the first dark band? Yo X meters

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will p…
