PartA One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m . Estimate the average wavelength of the sunlight (in nm). 350 nm 450 nm 550 nm 650 nm 750 nm Submit Request Answer Part B Estimate the diameter of the pinhole (in mm). Express your answer in millimeters.

Two sources of electromagnetic waves (light waves) are emitting coherent waves at a frequency of 546 THz. These two sources are located a distance d apart and aimed at point A, as shown below. If the top source is located a distance 3.8 meters away from point A, find the minimum distance d that will give destructive interreference. Enter your answer in millimeters. 4₁1 Laser Laser d A
