(c)
Coherent light that contains two wavelengths, 660 nm (red) and 470 nm (blue), passes
through two narrow slits separated by 0.3 mm, and the interference pattern is observed
on a screen 5 m from the slits. Calculate the distance on the screen between the first-
order bright fringes for red and blue light.
(b) Coherent light is diffracted by a single slit which is 15 µm wide. The central
maximum of the diffracted light has a width of 1.4 cm when it falls on a
screen 0.15 m behind the slit. Determine the wavelength of the incident
light.
(c) A double slit experiment is performed with bluish green light of
wavelength 512nm. The slits are 1.2mm apart and the screen is 5.4 m from
the slits.
(1) Calculate the angular position (0) of the third-order bright fringe in
degrees.
(ii) Find the width of the bright fringes as seen on the screen.
