A parallel beam of light from a He-Ne laser, with a wavelength 633 nm, falls on two very narrow slits 0.066 mm apart.
Part A
How far apart are the fringes in the center of the pattern on a screen 4.1 m away?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
wavelength of beam of light = 633 nm
distance between slit and screen = 4.1 m
seperation between slits = 0.066 mm
fringe width.
Fringe width is the distance between the two adjacent bright (or dark) fringes.
The formula to find fringe width is given as
On plugging the given values, we get
Hence, distance between two adjacent bright (or dark) fringes is 0.03932 m.
