Shown below is the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit. The pattern is actually a combination of singleand double-slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double- or single-slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single- or double-slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses.
Derive the transmission and reflection coefficient of monochromatic plane wave propagating from non conducting incident to conducting incident.

In a Young's double-slit experiment, blue light (?λ = 440 m) gives a second-order bright fringe at a certain location on a flat screen. What wavelength of visible light would produce a dark fringe at the same location? Assume that the range of visible wavelengths extends from 380 to 750 nm. Calculate the wavelength that fulfills the problem description. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did, any approximations you make and the thought process behind why you did that. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation.

Two radio antennas separated by d = 270 m, as shown in the figure below, simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength. A car travels due north along a straight line at position x = 1,030 m from the center point between the antennas, and its radio receives the signals. Hint: Do not use the small-angle approximation in this problem. (a) If the car is at the position of the second maximum after that at point O when it has traveled a distance of y = 400 m northward, what is the wavelength of the signals? m(b) How much farther must the car travel from this position to encounter the next minimum in reception? m
