2. Tilly tries to see if she could repeat the experiment with a diffraction grating that Santa gave her for
Christmas last year for viewing all the lights. This grating has 1,000 lines/cm. She places the grating
in front of the beam of red light which makes a pattern of light on a wall 4.0 m away.
a. Sketch a diagram of the light pattern as viewed from behind the light (the wall is below).
b. Exactly where on the wall would she find the first bright red fringe (relative to the central
maximum in distance)?
c. If she repeated the experiment with the blue light, would the first bright fringe be closer, further or
at the same spot (from the central maximum) as for the red light?
Which condition is NOT required for the single-slit diffraction experimental set-up?
O a. The size of the slit is similar (comparable) to the wavelength of the light.
O b. Coherent and monochromatic light is used.
O c. The wave (usually light) must travel through a single slit.
O d. The size of the slit is very small compared to the distance of the slit from the
screen.

- 0° M Show Three Slits 0° O Show Two Slits 0° O Show One Slit Description This is a simulation intended to help visualize polarization. A polarizing filter has a particular transmission axis and only allows light waves aligned with that axis to pass through. In this simulation unpolarized waves pass through a vertical slit, leaving only their vertical components. This vertical transverse wave approaches a vertical slit. If the slit is rotated, only a component of the wave can pass through. If the slit is rotated 90 degrees, the wave is stopped completely. Use the check boxes to show one, two, or three slits and see what happens as the wave passes through two or three slits at various angles. Press the button at the bottom left to start or pause the animation. Guide Questions: 1. Describe the light wave as it moves from one polaroid filter to another at O degrees. 2.
