Suppose the interference pattern shown in the figure below is produced by monochromatic light passing through two slits, with a separation of 122 μm, and onto a screen 1.70 m away. What is the wavelength of light if the distance between the dashed lines is 16.0 mm?
Given the data below, calculate the distance between side orders, Δy_1 (cm) and distance between side orders, y_1 (cm) if m=1 and slit width (cm) is equal to: 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16. Explain/show how calculations were made.***If the information I have provided is incomplete, please reply with the additional information needed so I can fix it.
Please show formula and units
For the figure shown below, let R = 1.20 m and d = 0.120 mm and assume the slit system is illuminated with monochromatic 500 nm light. The first bright fringe (m = 1) happens at point P. Calculate the phase difference (ϕ) between the two wave fronts arriving to point P in radians when:
a) θ = 0.500⸰
b) y = 5.00 mm. The value of θ in part b is not the same as the value of θ from part a. However, you may assume that θ in part b is small.
