(a)
Find the (positive) angle (in degrees) between the central maximum and next maximum of sound intensity. Measure the angle from the perpendicular bisector of the line between the slits.
°
(b)
The sound source is now replaced by a microwave antenna, emitting microwaves with a wavelength of 2.75 cm. What would the slit separation (in cm) have to be in order to give the same angle between central and next maximum of intensity as found in part (a)?
cm
(c)
The microwave antenna is now replaced by a monochromatic light source. If the slit separation were 1.00 µm, what frequency (in THz) of light would give the same angle between the central and next maximum of light intensity?
