- A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.205 mm, and a screen is placed 4.95 m from the slits. If the bright interference fringes on the screen are separated by 1.56 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser light? in nanometers.arrow_forwardTwo loudspeakers are mounted on a rack, one h = 2.74 m above the other. Exactly 8.00 meters to the right of the midpoint, a microphone rests at point O. Point O is equally distant from each loudspeaker. The loudspeakers are driven by the same tone generator and vibrate in phase at 390 Hz. It is possible to create a condition of destructive interference at Point O by changing one or both of the path lengths (r1 and r2) between speaker and microphone. Suppose that this is done by raising the upper speaker while leaving the lower speaker in place. What is the smallest vertical distance (in m) that you would need to raise the upper speaker by, in order to create destructive interference at Point O? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.)arrow_forwardTwo waves travelling in the same direction are given by: y1 = 0.2 sin(2rx-20t+p) and y2 = 0.2 sin(2Ttx-20t), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. If the %3D two waves start at the same moment, then the path difference, Ax, corresponding to a fully destructive interference is:arrow_forward

- A red laser from the physics lab is marked as producing 632.8-nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced slits, an interference pattern formed on a wall several meters away has bright red fringes spaced 5.00 mm apart near the centre of the pattern. When the laser is replaced by a small laser pointer, the fringes are 5.14 mm apart. What is the wavelength of light produced by the laser pointer?arrow_forwardThe figure shows a loudspeaker A and point C, where a listener is positioned. [AC| = 4.00 m and the angle 8 = 44 °. Asecond loudspeaker B is located somewhere to the left of A. The speakers vibrate out of phase and are playing a 61.0 Hztone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the third closest to speaker A that speaker B can be located, so that thelistener hears maximum sound?arrow_forwardYou are walking around a large open field. The only objects nearby are two identical speakers set some distance apart. The speakers emit sound in phase with a wavelength of 4 m. As you wander around the field, you notice that at certain locations the sound you hear is surprisingly loud, whereas at others it seems unusually quiet. You conclude that you are observing the effects of interference between the two sources of sound waves. For each of the locations given, indicate what sort of interference would occur at that point.
