- How narrow is a slit that produces a diffraction pattern on a screen 1.8 m away whose central peak is 1.0 m wide? Assume =589 nm.arrow_forwardFrom Equation 37.2, find an expression for the sine of the angles at which the minimum intensity occurs in a single-slit diffraction pattern. Compare the result to Equation 37.1.arrow_forwardFigure 27.55 shows the central part of the interference pattern for a pure wavelength of red light projected onto a double slit. The pattern is actually a combination of single slit and double slit interference. Note that the bright spots are evenly spaced. Is this a double slit or single slit characteristic? Note that some of the bright spots are dim on either side of the center. Is this a single slit or double slit characteristic? Which is smaller, the slit Width or the separation between slits? Explain your responses. Figure 27.55 This double slit interference pattern also shows signs of single slit interference. (credit: PASCO)arrow_forward
- What is the angular width of the central fringe of the interference pattern of (a) 20 slits separated by d=2.0103 mm? (b) 50 slits with the same separation? Assume that =600 nm.arrow_forwardWhen we studied Youngs double-slit experiment, we mostly ignored the dark fringe pattern produced by diffraction. Use Figure 35.21 to describe situations in which that omission makes sense. Think especially about the single slit used in front of the double slit in Youngs experiment (Fig. 35.9).arrow_forward(a) What is the distance between the slits of a diffraction grating that produces a first-order maximum for the first Balmer line at an angle of 20.0°?
