In a version of Young's double-slit experiment, two narrow slits in a screen are illuminated by plane monochromatic light with a wavelength of 560 nm. The slits are separated by a distance of 0.2 mm. An observation screen is placed at a distance of 3 m from the slits. The interference pattern on the observation screen consists of a series of bright bands separated by dark fringes. Calculate the separation between the second order and third order bright bands (second order and third order intensity maxima) on the observation screen.

In Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled. It is found that the distance between successive maxima (or minima) now is the same as the observed fringe shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment
Fringes in the Thomas Young experiment are produced using sodium light of wavelength 513 nm and two slits which are 1.2 mm apart. If the fringes are formed on a screen 1.1 m away from the slits, how far is the third order bright fringe from the middle of the screen? Give your answer in millimeters (mm)
In a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light, the distance on a screen between the third-order bright fringe and the central maximum is 1.0 cm. If the slit spacing is 0.20 mm and the slit-to-screen distance is 1.20 m, what is the wavelength of the light?
Two slits separated by a distance of d = 0.120 mm are located at a distance of D = 770. mm from a screen. The screen is oriented parallel to the plane of the slits. The slits are illuminated by a coherent light source with a wavelength of λ = 537 × 10-6 mm. The interference pattern shows a peak at the center of the screen (m = 0) and then alternating minima and maxima. a) What is the path length difference between the two waves from the two slits at the first (m = 1) maximum on the screen? b) What is the path length difference between the two waves from the two slits at the first (m = 0) minimum on the screen? c) Calculate the distance on the screen between the central maximum (m = 0) and the first (m = 1) maximum (You can assume sin(θ) ≈ tan(θ) ≈ θ, with θ expressed in radians).
In a single-slit diffraction experiment, a coherent light source illuminates a slit in a barrier, and the resulting pattern is projected on a screen that is separated from the barrier by a distance that is very large as compared to the slit width and the wavelength of the light source. A student makes sketches of the resulting patterns. While the center of each bright or dark band is accurately represented, the shading is qualitative, and the choice of color may not reflect the wavelength of the light source. The distance from the barrier to the screen is 2.65m, and the slit has a width of 7.7μm.
In Young’s double slit experiment, mono-chromatic light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the pair of slits and produces an interference pattern in which two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 10 mm. Another source of monochromatic light produces the interference pattern in which the two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 8 mm. Find the wavelength of light from the second source. What is the effect on the interference fringes if the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?
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=

In a double slit experiment the distance between the slits is 0.50 mm and the slits are 1.5 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm. What is the separation on the screen between the third order (m=3) of the bright fringes of the two interference patterns ? [d sin0 = m2 ; m= 0, 1, 2, 3, ...... For bright maxima ]
