- In a double-slit experiment, the slit separation is 2.0 mm, two wavelengths of 910 nm and 650 nm illuminate the slits, the screen is placed 2.8 meters away from the slits. At what distance from the central maximum on the screen will a dark fringe from one pattern first coincide with a dark fringe from the other?arrow_forwardLight of a single wavelength shines through a double slit, then onto a screen that is 6.5 m away from the slits. The slits are 0.21 mm apart. There is an interference pattern on the screen with dark bands measured to be 1.6 cm apart. Find the wavelength of the light.arrow_forwardA laser light source with wavelength λ = 545 nm is incident on a diffraction grating (as in the figure). The grating has 495 slits per mm. An observation screen is a distance L = 0.35 m from the grating. What is the separation between individual slits in the grating? Be careful with units: 1 nm = 10-9 m, 1 mm = 10-3 m, and 1 cm = 10-2 m. d = nm What is the distance y along the screen where the first-order diffraction peak is observed? y= cm source grating m=1arrow_forward
- A slit of width 0.15 mm is located 10.0 m from a screen. Light with a wavelength of 450 nm passes through this slit. Determine the distance between the first and the third dark fringes on the screen.arrow_forwardLight of wavelength 351 nm illuminates two slits, which are 0.6mm apart. A fringe pattern appears on a screen 3.7m from the slits. What is the distance between dark fringe number 1 and dark fringe number 5?arrow_forwardHow far is the second dark fringe to the right of the central bright fringe in the double-slit interference pattern seen on a screen 5 m from the slits? The slits are separated by 0.2 mm and are illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 548 nm.arrow_forward

What is the distance between the 1st and 6th dark spot on the screen?arrow_forwardTwo slits, 0.5 mm apart are placed at a distance of 1.5 meters from a screen. Light of 300nm illuminates the two slits and an interference pattern is observed on the screen. What is the distance between the central bright spot and the first bright spot on either side?arrow_forward
- How far is the second dark fringe to the right of the central bright fringe in the double-slit interference pattern seen on a screen 2 m from the slits? The slits are separated by 0.2 mm and are illuminated by monochromatic light of wavelength 541 nm.arrow_forwardA cars bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0km/h (1.1 -m/s) collision with an immovable object without damaging the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.185m while bringing a 875kg car to rest from an initial speed of 0.85m/s in newtons.arrow_forward
