** 24. The central maximum of a single slit pattern is much brighter than the small higher- order maxima further out (see Figure 23.12). As a result, many higher-order fringes from a 2-slit pattern will be too dim to see if they lie outside the central maximum for light spreading out from each of the slits. If 500-nm light passes through two slits, each of width 2 µm, and if the separation between the 2 slits is 24 µm, how many bright fringes of the two-slit pattern will be seen within the central maximum of the light from each slit? [Hint: Remember that there are fringes on both sides of the central bright fringe, and don't forget to count the central bright fringe.]

What is the intensity fraction of a 500nm light that is incident on a double slit? Given that the slits have a width of 3µm, a slit seperation of 5µm, and an angle of 20 degrees.
Suppose light with wavelength 540 nm has parallel wavefronts incident on two slits that are both .36 mm wide, and is separated by .5 mm. A screen is placed 1.2 m from the slit. What is the distance from the optical axis to the first minimum on the screen in mm?
Light of wavelength 0.616 um passed through two slits separated by distance d=2.61 µm and creates an interference pattern that can be observed on a screen placed distance 0.86 m away. The bright fringes in the pattern are not equidistant. What is the distance between fırst and third bright band observed on the screen? Provide your answer in centimeters, with a precision one place after decimal.
State the conditions necessary for interference to take place. In a Young's 2-slit experiment, the separation of the interference bands w is given by the equation: w=?D/a where λ is the wavelength of the light, D is the distance from the double slit to the screen and a is the distance between the slits. Given that D = 5 m, a= o.25 cm and λ = 618 nm, calculate the fringe width w. Give your answer in millimetres.

The figure shows a double slit located a distance x = 3.15 m from a screen, with the distance from the center of the screen to a bright fringe given by y. When the distance d between the slits is large compared to the wavelength λ, there will be numerous such bright fringes. Calculate the distance between adjacent fringes, in centimeters, for 640-nm light falling on double slits separated by 0.0785 mm. You may assume that θ is small.
