Use the bright fringe equation again to find the distance between any adjacent bright fringes (here, those characterized by m and m + 1). AL AL (m+ 1) - AL Ay = y+1 m%3D (5.63 x 107 m)(1.20 m) - 2.25 cm 3.00 x 105 m LEARN MORE REMARKS This calculation depends on the angle 0 being small because the small angle approximation was implicitly used. The measurement of the position of the bright fringes yields the wavelength of light, which in turn is a signature of atomic processes, as is discussed in the chapters on modern physics. This kind of measurement therefore helped open the world of the atom. QUESTION Which of the following make the separation between fringes greater in the two slit interference experiment? (Select all that apply.) O Larger separation of the two slits. O Narrower slits. Wider slits. O Smaller separation of the two slits. PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this…

Light of wavelength 677 nm passes through a slit 6.30 × 10-6 m wide and falls on a screen that is 2.23 m away. What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central bright fringe to the third dark fringe on either side? Number Units
Green light has a wavelength of approximately 510 nm. When green light is diffracted through a single slit with a width of 30 mm, the observed separation of the first dark fringe and the central maximum is 3.6 cm.

Using a 697 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.11 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen that the 11th dark fringe is 8.33 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?
