A diffraction grating with spacing d = 2000 nm produces an interference pattern on a screen at a distance of 32 cm. If the first and second maxima produced are located at y = 3 cm, and 5 cm respectively, what is the wavelength of the light? Is this light visible? What does that say about the screen in this apparatus? If the frequency of the light used in question 1 above is decreased, will the positions of the maxima...

4) Two narrow slits are separated by a distance d. Their interference pattern is to be observed on a screen a large distance L away. a) Calculate the spacing y of the maxima of the screen for light of wavelength 500 nm when L = 1 m and d = 1 cm. b) Would you expect to observe the interference of light on the screen for this situation? Explain. c) How close together should the slits be placed for the...

illuminated by a laser with a wavelength of 534 nm. The interference pattern on a screen located x = 5.30 m away shows that the fourth-order bright fringe is located y = 7.70 cm away from the central bright fringe. Calculate the distance between the two slits. The screen is now moved 2.1 m further away. What is the new distance between the central and the fourth-order bright fringe?

A green laser beam (550 nm) strikes a grating and creates an interference pattern on a wall 2.0 m away. The first maximum (fringe #1) occurs 11.0 cm from the middle of the central maximum. (a) Determine the distance between successive slits and the number of slits per mm. (b) Now a red laser (630 nm) replaces the green. On which side of the green fringe will the first red fringe appear – closer to the central maximum or further...

2-) A diffraction/interference pattern using a red helium-neon laser as a light source is observed on a screen a distance of 1.20 m from the element(s) producing the pattern. Using positive values to indicate distances to the right of the center of the pattern on the observing screen and negative values for distances to the left of the center, the following data is taken : Maxima(Cm) Minima(cm) -6.60 -6.10 -5.40 -4.75 -4.30 -3.60 -3.00 -2.35 -1.80 -1.20 +1.70 +1.15 +3.00...

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ1 is sent through two closely-spaced slits separated by a distance d1 = 1.8 mm. A resulting interference pattern is shown on a screen L1 away. Another monochromatic light source, this one of wavelength λ2, is sent through a diffraction grating toward the same screen, resulting in a second interference pattern. The diffraction grating is a distance L2 from the screen and has 400 lines per mm etched onto it. A) Assume that L1 = L2...

Question 1. Find the first few maxima and minima for the diffraction pattern of two slits separated by 12 μm with a screen 50 cm away assuming we use a laser with a wavelength in air of 550 nm. Question 2. Using these values sketch a graph of light intensity versus distance from the central maximum (y = 0). Question 3. If you then examine two slits separated by 1.2 μm what wavelength light should you use to keep the...

When you look at a single slit diffraction pattern produced on a screen by light of a single wavelength, you see a bright central maximum and a number of maxima on either side, their intensity decreasing with distance from the central maximum. If the frequency of the light is increased, A the pattern shrinks in size. (central maximum less wide; other maxima in closer to it) B it does not affect the size of the pattern. C the width of...
