Suppose you use the same double slit to perform Young's double slit experiment in air and then repeat the experiment in water. Do the angles to the same parts of the interference pattern get larger or smaller? Does the color of the light change? Explain.

(a) It is much less than the wavelength of visible light. (b) It is on the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of visible light. (c) It is much greater than the wavelength of visible light.

A group of students uses an intense white light and a red filter to create bright fringes in a double-slit experiment. Describe the differences in the observed results when the students make the following changes, and explain the differences. (a) Move the screen closer towards the slits. (b) Replace the red filter with a blue filter
A rainbow (the spectrum of color that is spread out by water droplets in the air) is an example of... a. Dispersion b. Diffraction c. Reflection
Students conduct an investigation using a ripple tank to determine the impact of an opening or slit on waves traveling through it. They observe a wave with a wavelength of 0.2 m as it hits a barrier with a 0.1 m slit. What shape and wavelength will the waves have as they pass through the opening?
The phenomenon of diffraction occurs due to the tendency of waves to spread when they encounter an opening or obstacle. Single-slit diffraction is a phenomenon observed when a wave passes through a narrow opening, such as a slit, and spreads out after passing through it. The degree of diffraction depends on the dimensions of the aperture in relation to the wavelength of the incident wave. Statement: A slit of width a is illuminated with white light. For what value of slit width will we have the first minimum for blue light, with ? = 450 ??, appearing at ? = 25th? Question options: a) 1.50 µm b) 1.98µm c) 1.05µm d) 3.60 µm e) 0.37µm
2)A beam of red light passes through a set of double slits and an interference pattern is observed on a screen. For each change below, describe what happens to the pattern on the screen (type 'spreads', 'narrows', or 'same' into the blank). a) beam of red light is changed to blue light (______) b) the slits are brought closer together (______) c) the screen is moved closer to the slits(______)
. A double-slit experiment yields an interference pattern dueto the path length difference from light traveling through oneslit versus the other. Why does a single slit show a diffraction pattern?(a) There is a path length difference from waves originatingat different parts of the slit.(b) The wavelength of the light is shorter than the slit.(c) The light passing through the slit interferes with lightthat does not pass through.(d) The single slit must have something in the middle of it,causing it to act like a double slit.

A double-slit interference pattern is observed on a screen with the intensity graph. Points A, B, C, D, and E are bright fringes. Points F, G, H, I, J, and K are dark fringes. The wavelength of the green light is 560 nm. The distance between the two slits is 0.40 mm, and the distance between the screen and the slit is 2.0 m. What is the distance between fringes C and B, in mm? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
