In Young's experiment a mixture of orange light (611 nm) and blue light (471 nm) shines on the double slit. The centers of the first-order bright blue fringes lie at the outer edges of a screen that is located 0.500 m away from the slits. However, the first-order bright orange fringes fall off the screen. By how much and in which direction (toward or away from the slits) should the screen be moved so that the centers of the first-order bright orange fringes will just appear on the screen? It may be assumed that theta is small, so that sin(theta)=tan(theta).

Consider a source of light with wavelength λ = 490 nm that shines on two identical narrow slits. The slits are separated by a distance a = 30 μm. An interference pattern is observed on a screen located a distance L away from the slits. On the screen, the location of the second dark spot to the left of the central bright spot is found to be y = 1.2 cm from the central bright spot. Let this particular position...

A 600 nm laser shines through a double slit in which the two slits are 0.8 mm apart, and each slit is 0.1 mm wide. Sketch what the pattern would look like on a screen 3 m away and indicate the central maximum. How many bright spots lie between the first single-slit minimums on either side? How far away is that first single-slit minimum from the center of the pattern? (you may assume the small angle approximations)
