A double slit experiment is set up such that the two slits are 1.00 cm apart and are placed 1.20 m from the screen on which the interference pattern will be formed. A monochromatic light source of frequency 6x10^14Hz is then shone onto the slits in order to create the expected pattern of light and dark fringes. Determine the separation of the bright fringes for this experimental set-up. answer = 60µm
A plane wave with a wavelength of 605 nm is incident normally on a single slit with a width of 3.98 x 10m. Consider waves that reach a point on a far-away screen such that rays from the slit make an angle of 2.00° with the normal. The difference in phase for waves from the top and bottom of the slit (in rad) is i rad.
Young's experiment with a single-colour source is conducted in a high school lab room. It is discovered that the 5th minimum is 12.8 cm from the central maximum. The wavelength of light used is 450 nm, and the slits are separated by 0.30 mm. How far away is the screen?
In a Young’s double-slit experiment, light of wavelength 589\,nm from a Sodium laser illuminates two very narrow parallel slits separated by 0.8\,mm in an opaque screen. Interference is observed on a second screen at distance 5\,m from the first screen. Calculate the spacing between consecutive bright fringes on the screen.Give your answer in mm to 1 d.p.
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
