In a single-slit diffraction experiment, monochromatic light of wavelength 505 nm is passed through a slit 0.320 mm wide, and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 7.14 m from the slit. The intensity at the center of the pattern is ?0. What is the ratio of the intensity at the center of the pattern to the intensity at a point 3.09 mm from the center of the diffraction pattern (?/?0)?
Monochromatic light of wavelength l = 620 nm from a distant source passes through a slit 0.450 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 3.00 m from the slit. In terms of the intensity I0 at the peak of the central maximum, what is the intensity of the light at the screen the following distances from the center of the central maximum: (a) 1.00 mm; (b) 3.00 mm; (c) 5.00 mm?
Monochromatic laser light flows through a small slit in a thin aluminum plate and generates a diffraction pattern on a screen 0.620 m from the slit in a huge vacuum chamber. When the aluminum plate is heated to 20.0C, the width of the diffraction pattern's center maximum is 2.75 mm. When the temperature of the plate is increased to 520.0C, what is the change in the breadth of the center maximum? When the temperature is raised, does the breadth of the center diffraction maximum rise or decrease?
