During a super-cool experiment, an optical engineer wanted to decide on the best components to use for constructing an instrument. The engineer is requesting your help in finding the following importing information. What is the slit spacing of a diffraction grating that will be necessary so that 600-nm light will produce a first order principal maximum at 25.0° away from the centerline? Please explain your reasoning.

Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. An interference pattern is produced when light is incident upon two slits that are 50.0 micrometers apart. The perpendicular distance from the midpoint between the slits to the screen is 7.65 m.

Please show formula and units For the figure shown below, let R = 1.20 m and d = 0.120 mm and assume the slit system is illuminated with monochromatic 500 nm light. The first bright fringe (m = 1) happens at point P. Calculate the phase difference (ϕ) between the two wave fronts arriving to point P in radians when: a) θ = 0.500⸰ b) y = 5.00 mm. The value of θ in part b is not the same as the value of θ from part a. However, you may assume that θ in part b is small.
