Which one of the following phenomena would be observed if the wavelength of light were increased? The distance between dark fringes would decrease The fringes would be brighter. Single-slit diffraction effects would become non-negligible More bright fringes would appear on the screen. The angular separation between bright fringes would increase.

A source of light having two wavelengths 550 nm and 600 nm of equal intensity is incident on a slit of width 1.8 m. Find the separation of the m=1 bright spots of the two wavelengths on a screen 30.0 cm away.
A single slit of width 2100 nm is illuminated normally by a wave of wavelength 632.8 nm. Find the phase difference between waves from the top and one third from the bottom of the slit to a point on a screen at a horizontal distance of 2.0 m and vertical distance of 10.0 cm from the center.
What effect does increasing the wedge angle have on the spacing of interference fringes? If the wedge angle is too large, fringes are not observed. Why?
At what angle does a diffraction grating produce a second-order maximum for light having a first-order maximum at 20.0°?
The width of bright fringes can be calculated as the separation between the two adjacent dark fringes on either side. Find the angular widths of the third- and fourth-order bright fringes from the preceding problem.
In a thermally stabilized lab, a Michelson interferometer is used to monitor the temperature to ensure it stays constant. The movable mirror is mounted on the end of a 1.00-m-long aluminum rod, held fixed at the other end. The light source is a He Ne laser, =632.8 nm . The resolution of this apparatus corresponds to the temperature difference when a change of just one fringe is observed. What is this temperature difference?
A monochromatic light of wavelength 589 nm incident on a double slit with slit width 2.5 m and unknown separation results in a diffraction pattern containing nine interference peaks inside the central maximum. Find the separation of the slits.
A rectangular slit is twice as wide as it is high. Is the central diffraction peak wider in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction?
Why is it much more difficult to see interference fringes for light reflected from a thick piece of glass than from a thin film? Would it be easier if monochromatic light were used?
