A double-slit interference pattern is created by two narrow slits spaced 0.15 mm apart. The distance between the first and the fifth minimum on a screen 80 cm behind the slits is 6.5 mm. What is the wavelength (in nm) of the light used in this experiment? Round off your answer to 1 decimal place (ex. 304.5 nm) and include the appropriate units

] A hang glider flying 195 m above the ground looks down on two beacons emitting light with a wavelength of λ = 650 nm. If the glider’s pilot has a pupil diameter of d = 1.5 mm, what is the minimum seperation along the ground between the beacons such that the glider will see 2 distinct beacons? Reminder: The Rayleigh criterion calls for the angular separation to be at least the diffraction minimum angle.

You see a light approaching you from a distance on the highway. Is it a motorcycle (one light) or a car (two lights)? You may assume the air is perfectly clear and still, and the headlights emit exclusively blue light (λ = 475 nm). Assume your pupil (the aperture of your eye) is 5 mm in diameter. If a car with two blue headlights that are separated by 1.5 meters is approaching you, at what maximum distance could you still...
