8. Coherent light of wavelength 501.5 nm is sent through two GP parallel slits in an opaque material. Each slit is 0.700 um wide. Their centers are 2.80 um apart. The light then falls on a semicylindrical screen, with its axis at the midline between the slits. We would like to describe the appearance of the pattern of light visible on the screen. (a) Find the direction for each two-slit interference maximum on the screen as an angle away from the bisector of the line joining the slits. (b) How many angles are there that represent two-slit inter- ference maxima? (c) Find the direction for each single-slit interference minimum on the screen as an angle away from the bisector of the line joining the slits. (d) How many angles are there that represent single-slit interference minima? (e) How many of the angles in part (d) are identical to those in part (a)? (f) How many bright fringes are visible on the screen? (g) If the intensity of the central fringe is I what is the intensity of the last fringe visible on the screen?

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 520 nm and the slit is 0.190 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.60 m from the slit.

An instructor directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 550 nm and the slit is 0.230 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.65 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider the first dark fringe on either side of the central peak (m = ±1). How does its distance relate to the full width of the central maximum? Take care with units. mm (b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen? Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider two adjacent fringes on one side of the…
You perform a double-slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. You set your slit spacing at 1.05 mm and place your screen 8.51 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.63 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength i expressed in nanometers? = nm
The analysis of any two-point source interference pattern and a successful determination of wavelength demands an ability to sort through the measured information and equating the values with the symbols in Young's equation. Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. Two slits that are 0.200 mm apart produce an interference pattern on a screen such that the central maximum and the 10th bright band are distanced by an amount equal to one-tenth the distance from the slits to the screen. y= ________ d=________ m=_______ L=________

This question is regarding the experiment ’Diffraction and Interference of Light’. a) In a diffraction experiment for a given slit and a given slit-screen distance,would the distance between the dark fringes increase or decrease when a blue laser is replaced with a red laser? Use equations to argue why, in no more than two sentences (Hint: wavelength λblue = 470nm, λred = 700 b) Draw the pattern you observe for two slit interference. Mark clearly the diffraction and the interference parts of this pattern. c) How will the pattern change? When I change the distance between the slits?
