A hydrogen gas discharge lamp emits visible light at four wavelengths, =410 , 434, 486, and 656 nm. (a) If light from this lamp falls on a N slits separated by 0.025 mm, how far from the central maximum are the third maxima when viewed on a screen 2.0 m from the slits? (b) By what distance are the second and third maxima separated for l=486 nm?
When a monochromatic light of wavelength 430 nm incident on a double slit of slit separation 5 m, there are 11 interference fringes in its central maximum. How many interference fringes will be in the central maximum of a light of wavelength 632.8 nm for the same double slit?
Consider a single-slit diffraction pattern for =589 nm, projected on a screen that is 1.00 m from a slit of width 0.25 mm. How far from the center of the pattern are the centers of the first and second dark fringes?
A 5.08-cm-long rectangular glass chamber is inserted into one arm of a Michelson interferometer using a 633-nm light source. This chamber is initially filled with air (n=1.000293) at standard atmospheric pressure but the air is gradually pumped out using a vacuum pump until a near perfect vacuum is achieved. How many fringes are observed moving by during the transition?
A monochromatic light of wavelength 589 nm incident on a double slit with slit width 2.5 m and unknown separation results in a diffraction pattern containing nine interference peaks inside the central maximum. Find the separation of the slits.

please help: A physics instructor wants to produce a double-slit interference pattern large enough for her class to see. For the size of the room, she decides that the distance between successive bright fringes on the screen should be at least 2.10 cm. If the slits have a separation d=0.0160mm, what is the minimum distance from the slits to the screen when 632.8-nm light from a He-Ne laser is used?
At most, how many bright fringes can be formed on either side of the central bright fringe when light of wavelength 625 nm falls on a double slit whose slit separation is 4.65 × 10-6 m? Please explain with all math steps.
A physics instructor wants to produce a double-slit interference pattern large enough for her class to see.
