Q3:a) Coherent light with wavelength 400 nm passes through two very narrow slits that are separated by 0.200 mm and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 4.00 m from the slits. (i) What is the width of the first-order bright fringe?
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.

b) You pass 633 nm laser light through a narrow slit and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen 6.0 m
away. You find that the distance on the screen between the centers of the first minima outside the central
bright fringe is 32 mm. How wide is the slit?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdba678bc-9c93-4d34-8080-128b37ac3d5e%2F9ede03ac-0e99-4443-ba63-13efda3a2084%2Fhpu1d5r_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
