One part of the a filter has two slits side-by-side. To measure the width of the slits and the distance between them, you decide to shine a laser and examine the interference pattern on a screen, x distance. - Derive an equation or expression that describes the location of the intensity maxima on a screen resulting from coherent light passing through two thin slits with a definite width and distance between the centers of the slits. Define the symbols used in your derivation using either text or a diagram. - Sketch a graph or diagram showing the light intensity pattern on the screen. - What pattern would you expect to see on the

them, you decide to shine a laser and examine the interference pattern on a screen, x distance.
- Derive an equation or expression that describes the location of the intensity maxima on a
screen resulting from coherent light passing through two thin slits with a definite width and
distance between the centers of the slits. Define the symbols used in your derivation using
either text or a diagram.
- Sketch a graph or diagram showing the light intensity pattern on the screen.
- What pattern would you expect to see on the screen if light from the two slits did not interfere? Sketch it and point out differences between the last
