Concept explainers

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.

Question

1. A double-slit is illuminated by laser light of wavelength 632 nm. The
slits have a spacing of 0.25 mm and are 7.00 m from a wall. Measuring
