Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

Please help. There are 3 questions, please soo with all.

1. Describe how the production of the double slit interference pattern differs from the production of
the single slit pattern.
2. Light with a wavelength of 612 nm incident on a double slit produces a second order maximum
at an angle of 25°. What is the separation between the slits?
3. Light with a wavelength of 488 nm is incident on a single slit with a width of 6.23 x 10-4 m. If the
screen is 2.7 m away, what is the distance to the first antinodal line?

In Figure 37.7, show mathematically how many interference maxima are enclosed by the central diffraction maximum in the pattern. Notice that the diagram is generated by using 650-nm light to illuminate two 3.0-m slits separated by 18 m. Figure 37.7 The combined effects of two-slit and single-slit interference.

Hint: The fringe shifts occur because the wavelength of the light changes inside the gas-filled tube.
