Question

Single slit:

a = 0.04 mm, l = 650 nm, l = 90 cm

xm = _1.45cm_______(measured)    

xc = _1.46 cm_____ (calculated)
%difference = 0.685 %

θd = sin^-1(m λ/a) = sin-1 (1(650*10^-9)/(4*10-5)= 0.93o

 

part 1:

a)Validate that it was correct to use the small angle approximation for that activity:

b)Describe the diffraction pattern for one-slit experiment:
