Monochromatic light is incident on a pair of slits that are separated by 0.200 mm. The screen is 2.50 m away from the slits. a. If the distance between the central bright fringe and either of the adjacent bright fringes is 1.67 cm, find the wavelength of the incident light. b. At what angle does the next set of bright fringes appear?
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?
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?
What is the angular width of the central fringe of the interference pattern of (a) 20 slits separated by d=2.0103 mm? (b) 50 slits with the same separation? Assume that =600 nm.
Consider the single-slit diffraction pattern for =600 nm, D=0.025 mm , and x=2.0 m. Find the intensity in terms of Io at =0.5 , 1.0°, 1.5°, 3.0°, and 10.0°.
Coherent light rays of wavelength strike a pair of slits separated by distance d at an angle 1, with respect to the normal to the plane containing the slits as shown in Figure P27.14. The rays leaving the slits make an angle 2 with respect to the normal, and an interference maximum is formed by those rays on a screen that is a great distance from the slits. Show that the angle 2 is given by 2=sin1(sin1md) where m is an integer.
