While researching the use of laser pointers, you conduct a diffraction experiment with two thin parallel slits. Your result is the pattern of closely spaced bright and dark fringes shown in (Figure 1) (Only the central portion of the pattern is shown.) You measure that the bright spots are equally spaced at 1.53 mm center to center (except for the missing spots) on a screen that is 2.50 m from the slits. The light source was a helium–neon laser producing a wavelength of 632.8 nm. How far apart are the two slits? How wide is each slit?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
