Using Figure 36.6 as a model, sketch the interference pattern from six slits.
Figure 36.6 Multiple-slit interference patterns. As N, the number of slits, is increased, the primary maxima (the tallest peaks in each graph) become narrower but remain fixed in position and the number of secondary maxima increases.

Please sketch the situation, this is most important.arrow_forwardHow the data were collected:Align the light source (laser diode: 650 nm on label) on an optical bench. Setup a white screen that is parallel with respect to the slit disk’s orientation. Measure the distance between the slit disk and the screen (this serves as the slit-to-screen distance d). Record the position of dark fringes on the screen using a pen or a pencil.Measure the distance ∆y1 between the first-order (m = ±1) minima and record this distance in Tables W1 and W2. Also measure the distance ∆y2 between the second-order (m = ±2) minima and record it in Table W2. Divide the distances between side orders by two (2) to get the distances from the center of the pattern to the first and second order minima (ym = 1 2 ∆ym). Record these values of ym in Tables W1 and W2.The data from the experiment is: Single Slit Diffraction Experiment Data Slit Width, a (mm) Δy_1 (cm) Δy_2 (cm) Δy_3 (cm) 0.02 2.80 0.04 1.00 1.90 0.08 0.45 0.90 1.45 0.16 0.20 0.50 0.70 Source-to-Slit…arrow_forwardA.
