- Light of wavelength 585.5 nm illuminates a slit of width 0.70 mm.

Answer in m (b) Calculate the width of the central maximum. Answer in mmarrow_forwardQuality control systems have been developed to remotely measure the diameter of wires using diffraction. A wire with a stated diameter of 170 μm blocks the beam of a 633 nm laser, producing a diffraction pattern on a screen 50.0 cm distant. The width of the central maximum is measured to be 3.77 mm. The wire should have a diameter within 1% of the stated value.Does this wire pass the test?arrow_forwardRecall from class that the resolution is limited due to the nature of light. More specifically, since light diffracts as it goes through a small opening, it becomes difficult to differentiate two light sources when the diffraction central peak from one source overlaps with the first minimum of the second source, as shown in the figure below. (a) The pupil of the human eye has an aperture of around 5mm, and visible light has wavelengths peaked around 500nm. Estimate the angular resolution of the human eye (that is, the smallest angle for which you could distinguish that light was coming from two different directions). (b) Suppose two point sources of light were separated by a distance x, and you are standing one meter away from them. Estimate the smallest distance x for which you could tell that there were two point sources (rather than just one).arrow_forward
