Consider this problem: "Constructive interference fringes from a bright blue laser (wavelength 425 nm) shining onto a diffraction grating are displayed on a screen. The 4th bright fringe from the center has spread from the grating at a 30 degree angle. How many nanometers (nm) are between the slits on the grating?" QUESTION: in the quoted problem, which symbol in the equation is represented by the given number 425 nm? d(sin0) = mλ Od (distance from a slit to the neighboring slit) OA (wavelength of the light) m (integer that identifies the fringe) e (angle at which the fringe forms on the screen)

State the conditions necessary for interference to take place. In a Young's 2-slit experiment, the separation of the interference bands w is given by the equation: w=?D/a where λ is the wavelength of the light, D is the distance from the double slit to the screen and a is the distance between the slits.

A laser light source with wavelength λ = 545 nm is incident on a diffraction grating (as in the figure). The grating has 495 slits per mm. An observation screen is a distance L = 0.35 m from the grating. What is the separation between individual slits in the grating? Be careful with units: 1 nm = 10-9 m, 1 mm = 10-3 m, and 1 cm = 10-2 m. d = nm What is the distance y along the screen where the first-order diffraction peak is observed? y= cm source grating m=1
Fringes in the Thomas Young experiment are produced using sodium light of wavelength 613 nm and two slits which are 1.1 mm apart.

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?

In an interference experiment using a monochromatic source emitting light of wavelength 1, the fringes are produced by two long, narrow slits separated by a distance d. The fringes are formed on a screen which is situated at a distance D >> d.Write down an expression for the fringe width w. Please use "*" for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "-" signs as appropriate. Use "lambda" (without the quotes) for 1 in the equation box. For example, use d*lambda for d2. Please use the "Display response" button to check you entered the answer you expect. w=
