Interference effects are produced at point P on a screen as a result of direct rays from a 490-nm source and reflected rays off a mirror, as shown in the figure below. If the source is L = 150 m to the left of the screen and h = 2.00 cm above the mirror, find the distance y (in millimeters) to the first dark band above the mirror. mm Screen L Mirror

In an experiment to measure the wavelength of light in air, two slits are illuminated with white light and their images are obtained on a screen. For best results: 5 A the slit to screen distance should be at least 3.00 m. the light used can be a mixture of coloured light. the light used should be obtained from a LASER source; the slit width should be made smaller than the wavelength of light.

A parallel beam of white light falls normally on a single slit 0.320 mm wide, and 1 m behind this slit a small spectroscope is used to explore the spectrum of the diffracted light. Predict if you can what will be seen in the spectroscope if the slit is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the diffracting slit by a distance of 1.250 cm from the 15.3 axis. alit
The following problem must be solved taking into consideration the modification given below: A student holds a laser that emits light of wavelength 545 nm. The laser beam passes though a pair of slits separated by 0.500 mm, in a glass plate attached to the front of the laser. The beam then falls perpendicularly on a screen, creating an interference pattern on it. The student begins to walk directly toward the screen at 2.00 m/s. The central maximum on the screen is stationary. Find the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen. Do not use small angle approximation. Modification: Suppose there is a liquid in the space between the slits and the screen. Give such liquid any refractive index you desire (numerical value). Also suppose that the screen has a finite lenght (give another numerical value). Besides calculating the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen also calculate the initial value of bright fringes according to the…
