Question
Two lasers are shining on a double slit, with slit separation d. Laser 1 has a wavelength of d/20, whereas laser 2 has a wavelength of d/15. The lasers produce separate interference patterns on a screen a distance of 4.30 m away from the slits.
A. What is the distance between the first maxima (on the same side of the central maximum) of the two patterns?
B. What is the distance between the second maximum of laser 1 and the third minimum of laser 2, on the same side of the central maximum?

- A laser beam (λ=497 nm) is put through a beam splitter to give 2 equal intensity beams traveling parallel to one another. One of these beams is directed through a double slit apparatus, and the other beam through a single slit apparatus. The single slit and the double slits are in the same plane and both display fringe patterns on a screen a distance L= 3.3 m away. a. The slit spacing of the double slit apparatus is 0.63 mm. What is the distance from the center of the double slit fringe pattern to the 5th dark fringe? b. If the third dark fringe of the single slit pattern is the same distance from the center of the single slit pattern as the result for part (a), what is the single slit width?

- Question A6 It is desired to apply an anti-reflection coating on a glass lens used in air, by coating the lens with a thin film of magnesium fluoride of refractive index n = 1.37; (assume the glass has refractive index larger than nF). Write down the formula for optical path difference between waves reflected at top and bottom of the film, and use this to calculate the minimum required thickness of the coating to give a reflectance minimum for normal-incidence green light of wavelength 550 nm in air.arrow_forwardFor any vector quantity, be sure to always include the magnitude and direction tyarrow_forwardQ3.
