Chapter 14.1, Problem 1aT

In the magnified view of the slits, an arrow is drawn showing the direction from slit S 1 to an arbitrary point on the screen, point X. On the magnified view:

Chapter 14.1, Problem 1aT, In the magnified view of the slits, an arrow is drawn showing the direction from slit S1 to an

• draw an arrow to indicate the approximate direction from slit S 2 to the distant point X.
• identify and label the line segment that represents the path length difference from the slits to point X.

For small angles ( (where ( is measured in radians), what is the approximate path length difference?

Laser light with a wavelength of 632.8 nm is directed through one slit or two slits and allowed to fall on a screen 2.60 m beyond. as shown the pattern on the screen, with a centimeter ruler below it. (a) Did the light pass through one slit or two slits? Explain how you can determine the answer. (b) If one slit, find its width. If two slits, find the distance between their centers.
A radio transmitting station operating at a frequency of 125 MHz has two identical antennas that radiate in phase. Antenna B is 9.00 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point P between the antennas and along the line connecting them, a horizontal distance x to the right of the antenna. For what values of x will constructive interference occur at point P? Express your answers in meters and in ascending order separated by comas.
Solve the two double-slit equations above for λ in terms of the measurable quantities d, y, m, and L. You may use the small angle approximation: sin θ ≈ tan θ.
