Question

What can you deduce with the calculated wavelength below? What relationship does it have with the slit width and/or distance between side orders? Does the calculated wavelength agree or deviate from certain optical theories? Explain.

Slit to screen distance (L) is 27cm

Theoretical wavelength is 650 cm

Slit width, a (mm)

0.02 0.04 0.08 0.16
Distance between side orders, Δy_1 (cm) 2.80 1.00 0.45 0.20
Distance between side orders, y_1 (cm) 1.40 0.50 0.23 0.10
Calculated Wavelength (nm) 1037 741 667 593
