Calculate the location of the zeros of the diffraction pattern in terms of the angle θ they form with the perpendicular passing through the middle of the slit b Calculate the location of the zeros of the diffraction pattern in terms of the distancey from the projection of the middle point of the slit. c. Calculate the intensity of the light at an angle θ = 4◦
Light of frequency ν = 540 nm is shining through a slit with aperture 0.3 mm. The diffraction
pattern that is formed, is projected onto a screen positioned at a distance of 3 m from the
slit.
a. Calculate the location of the zeros of the diffraction pattern in terms of the angle θ they
form with the perpendicular passing through the middle of the slit
b Calculate the location of the zeros of the diffraction pattern in terms of the distancey
from the projection of the middle point of the slit.
c. Calculate the intensity of the light at an angle θ = 4◦
.
d This slit is now paired with a second one positioned such that the distance between
the midpoints of the two slits is 1 mm. Calculate the intensity of the light at an angle
θ = 4◦
. Comment why the last two answers are (or are not) the same.
e. If you now use 17 extremely thin slits (a λ) at a distance of 1 mm from one another,
calculate the number of zeros between the maximum corresponding to m = 1 and the
one corresponding to m = 4
