Textbook Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 3eT
The pattern produced by red light passing through two very narrow slits has been reproduced at right.
In each part below, suppose that a single change were made to the original apparatus. For each case, determine how, if at all, that change would affect the pattern on the screen. Sketch your predictions in the spaces provided.
1. the distance between the slits is decreased (without changing the width of the slits)
2. the screen is moved closer to the mask containing the slits
3. the wavelength of the incident light is decreased
4. the width of each slit is decreased (without changing the distance between the slits)

Students have asked these similar questions
After passing through a diffraction grating with a period of d = 6.5μm, located 5m away from the
screen, laser light creates the image on the screen shown below. What is the wavelength of the light if
the distance between zero and first maxima is 50cm? Show all your work. For a full credit, cite
relevant formulas and problems from the notes.
Just number 9 please.
Please break down all parts clearly and name equations used!
1. For the antireflective coating shown in the figure, how thick should the coating be to destructively interfere the incoming light and the reflected light (off the front of the glass) and why? Assume the light has a wavelength in air of 533 nm (green).
2. What would the intensity be for 400 nm light and why? (Remember: intensity goes as the electric field squared!)
3. What other wavelengths will completely destructively interfere and why?
