How far from the center of the pattern are the centers of the first and second dark fringes?arrow_forwardA Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is produced on a screen located 1.00 m from a single slit.

The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central bright fringe is 4.10 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light.arrow_forwardWhy 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?arrow_forwardWhen a monochromatic light of wavelength 430 nm incident on a double slit of slit separation 5 m, there are 11 interference fringes in its central maximum. How many interference fringes will be in the central maximum of a light of wavelength 632.8 nm for the same double slit?arrow_forward
