A laser beam is incident on two slits with separation d = 0.026 mm. A screen is placed L = 3.2 m from the slits. The wavelength of the laser light is λ = 5750 Å. θ1 and θ2 are the angles to the first and second bright fringes above the center of the screen. Part (a) Express sin(θ1) in terms of d and λ. Part (b) Express sin(θ2) in terms of d and λ. Part (c) Express the distance between the two bright fringes on the screen, y, in terms of θ1, θ2 and L. Part (d) Solve for the numerical value of y in meters.

Question

  A laser beam is incident on two slits with separation d = 0.026 mm. A screen is placed L = 3.2 m from the slits. The wavelength of the laser light is λ = 5750 Å. θ1 and θ2 are the angles to the first and second bright fringes above the center of the screen.

Part (a)  Express sin(θ1) in terms of d and λ

 Part (b)  Express sin(θ2) in terms of d and λ
 Part (c)  Express the distance between the two bright fringes on the screen, y, in terms of θ1θ2 and L
 Part (d)  Solve for the numerical value of y in meters.
