2. Double-slit pattern
A screen is placed a distance R = 10m away from a 2-slit setup.
The distance between slits is d = 0.1mm. A laser beam is
incident on the slits from the left, as shown.
The intensity of the central maximum is I=1 W/m²
Point P, located 180 mm above the central maximum, marks the
location in the interference pattern of the third bright fringe.
(a) [2 points] Calculate the wavelength of the laser.
If we instead look at a point Q on the screen 140 mm from the central max:
(b) [3 points] Determine the path difference between both rays at point Q. Do the waves interfere
constructively, destructively or neither at point Q?
