The number of slits is sufficiently large that the individual lines are sharp and widely separated. Note that there are four different colors appearing in the source, violet is the color closest to the central maximum. λ=656λ=656 nm (red) λ=486λ=486 nm (cyan) λ=434λ=434 nm (blue-violet) λ=410λ=410 nm (violet) The blue-violet line is thin and somewhat faint, and it may be difficult to see without enlarging the figure. When viewing multiple orders of the interference pattern, the color sequence may change due to the interleaving of the different orders. 1.

What is the width ?a of the slit in micrometers (μm)?arrow_forwardLight of wavelength 588.2 nm illuminates a slit of width 0.63 mm. (a) At what distance from the slit should a screen be placed if the first minimum in the diffraction pattern is to be 0.86 mm from the central maximum? (b) Calculate the width of the central maximum. Step 1 (a) As shown in the figure, dark bands or minima occur where sin 0 = m(2/a). For the first minimum, m = 1 and the distance from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum is y₁ = L tan 8, where L is the distance of the viewing screen from the slit. 32 sin dark = 22/a 31 sin dark = λ/a HE 0 -1 sin dark = -λ/a -2 sin dark = -22/a Viewing screen a Because is very small, we can use the approximation tan sin 0 = m(2/a).
