The grading is illuminated with a composite light source consisting of two distinct wavelengths of light being 666 nm and 501 nm. If a screen is placed a distance of 1.57 m away, what is the linear separation between the 1st order maxima of the 2 wavelengths? Express this distance in meters.arrow_forwardIn a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with a separation of 0.130 mm is illuminated by light having a wavelength of 550 nm and the interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits.

Your answer will be in terms of d and λ. (b) Now we include the effects of diffraction. If the intensity at θ = 0° is I0, what is the intensity at each of the angles in part (a)?
