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 0.225 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.20 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? mm (b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen? mm
A laser beam is normally incident on a single slit with width 0.580 mm. A diffraction pattern forms on a screen a distance 1.20 m beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central maximum is 2.12 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light (in nm). X Find the relationship among y, the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum, L, and 0, and then apply the equation for the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. Solve for A. Hint: use a small-angle approximation. nm
Monochromatic light (wavelength = 455 nm) is incident perpendicularly on a single slit (width = 0.56 mm).

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…
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=

Hint: Think about Huygens construction with the single slit divided into four equal length sections acting as sources of secondary waves. Write down a general expression for the nth minimum angle.
