Red light (=710.nm) illuminates double slits separated by a distance d=0.150 mm. The screen and the slits are 3.00 m apart. (a) Find the distance on the screen between the central maximum and the third maximum. (b) What is the distance between the second and the fourth maxima?
Ten narrow slits are equally spaced 0.25 mm apart and illuminated with yellow light of wavelength 580 nm. (a) What are the angular positions of the third and fourth principal maxima? (b) What is the separation of these maxima on a screen 2.0 m from the slits?
A diffraction grating with 2000 lines per centimeter is used to measure the wavelengths emitted by a hydrogen gas discharge tube. (a) At what angles will you find the maxima of the two first-order blue lines of wavelengths 410 and 434 nm? (b) The maxima of two other first-order lines are found at 1=0.097 rad and 2=0.132 rad .

Fifty-one narrow slits are equally spaced and separated by 0.10 mm. The slits are illuminated by blue light of wavelength 400 nm. What is angular position of the twenty-fifth secondary maximum? What is its peak intensity in comparison with that of the primary maximum?
An experimenter detects 251 fringes when the movable mirror in a Michelson interferometer is displaced. The light source used is a sodium lamp, wavelength 589 nm. By what distance did the movable mirror move?
An intensity minimum is found for 450 nm light transmitted through a transparent film (n=1.20) in air. (a) What is minimum thickness of the film? (b) If this wavelength is the longest for which the intensity minimum occurs, what are the next three lower values of ? for which this happens?
The characters of a stadium scoreboard are formed with closely spaced lightbulbs that radiate primarily yellow light. (Use =600 nm.) How closely must the bulbs be spaced so that an observer 80 m away sees a display of continuous lines rather than the individual bulbs? Assume that the pupil of the observer’s eye has a diameter of 5.0 mm.
(a) How wide is a single slit that produces its first minimum for 633-nm light at an angle of 28.0°? (b) At what angle will the second minimum be?
Radio telescopes are telescopes used for the detection of radio emission from space. Because radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light, the diameter of a radio telescope must be very large to provide good resolution. For example, the radio telescope in Penticton, BC in Canada, has a diameter of 26 m and can be operated at frequencies as high as 6.6 GHz. (a) What is the wavelength corresponding to this frequency? (b) What is the angular separation of two radio sources that can be resolved by this telescope? (c) Compare the telescope’s resolution with the angular size of the moon.
The thickness of an aluminum foil is measured using a Michelson interferometer that has its movable mirror mounted on a micrometer. There is a difference of 27 fringes in the observed interference pattern when the micrometer clamps down on the foil compared to when the micrometer is empty. Calculate the thickness of the foil?
Sodiums emission lines at 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm pass through a diffraction grating and form two m = +1 maxima on a viewing screen. Would the spacing between the two lines increase, decrease, or remain unchanged (indicate your answers with I. D. or U) if the grating is exchanged (a) for one having fewer lines per millimeter, or (b) for one with twice the total number of lines? What if (c) the intensity of the light is doubled, or (d) the maxima are viewed in second order?
