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
A monochromatic light beam strikes perpendicularly in a double slit system. The slits are 46 μm wide and the distance between the slits is 0.30 mm. How many complete clear fringes appear between the two first order minima of the diffraction figure?
Fringes in the Thomas Young experiment are produced using sodium light of wavelength 513 nm and two slits which are 1.2 mm apart.

Julissa and Miriam are performing Young's double slit experiment. First, they use a source of light with a wavelength of A1-500 nm, and then, with a source of ligh with a wavelength of A2 = 600 nm. Which order bright fringe from the first experiment corresponds to the third dark fringe of the second experiment, if the slit spacing and distance to the screen remain the same?
In a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with a separation of 0.108 mm is illuminated by light having a wavelength of 584 nm and the interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits. (a) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of a third order bright fringe on the screen? answer in ?m (b) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of the third dark fringe on the screen, away from the center of the pattern? answer in ?m
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.

A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 520 nm and the slit is 0.190 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.60 m from the slit. How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen?
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?
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? 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 two adjacent fringes on one side of the…

A student performs a standard two-slit interference experiment and carefully sketches the observed interference pattern. The red colored pencil used by the student may not precisely match the actual color of the coherent light source. The position of the second-order maximum, corresponding to two full wavelengths of path difference from the two slits, is most nearly 35.0cm. The position of the third-order minimum of intensity, corresponding to two and one-half wavelengths of path difference for rays arriving from the two slits, is most nearly 43.8cm. 1.
