In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will p…

Chapter 35, Problem 35.19E

Coherent light with wavelength 500 nm passes through narrow slits separated by 0.340 mm. At a distance from the slits large compared to their separation, what is the phase difference (in radians) in the light from the two slits at an angle of 23.0° from the centerline?

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 575 nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on a screen that is 75.0 cm from the slits. The centers of the slits are 0.640 mm apart and the width of each slit is 0.434 mm. If the intensity at the center of the central maximum is 4.20×10−4 W/m2, what is the intensity at a point on the screen that is 0.850 mm from the center of the central maximum?

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 594 nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on a screen that is 75.0 cm from the slits. The centers of the slits are 0.640 mm apart and the width of each slit is 0.434 mm . If the intensity at the center of the central maximum is 3.90×10−4 W/m2W/m2 , what is the intensity at a point on the screen that is 0.880 mm from the center of the central maximum? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
