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 diffraction grating consists of many narrow slits separated by a constant spacing d. A beam of light with constant frequency is shined onto the diffraction grating and the transmitted light is projected onto a distant screen. Which of the following is true about the pattern of light that appears on the screen? Select all correct answers. The spot directly in front of the screen ( 0 = 0 ) is always bright, regardless of the light frequency. The spot directly in front of the screen ( 0 = 0 |3D ) is always dark, regardless of the light frequency. O If the frequency of the light is increased, the spacing between the intensity maxima (bright dots on the screen) increases. If the spacing d is increased, the spacing between the intensity maxima (bright dots on the screen) decreases.
