A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm light from a He-Ne laser. Because the lecture hall is very large, the interference pattern will be projected on a wall that is 6 m from the slits. For easy viewing by all students in the class, the professor wants the distance between the m=0 and m=1 maxima to be 50 cm. What slit separation is required in order to produce the desired interference pattern?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
