Suppose instead that the distance between the Centers of the slits, d, were gradually decreased (while keeping the widths of the slits the same).
Which minima would move as d is decreased?
Choose two or more relative intensity graphs in part C above that illustrate such a change.
The minima that occur only one slit is often are called diffraction minima. The minima that occur where the light from each point on one slit is

- Assume the figure below was photographed with red light of a single wavelength i. The light passed through a single slit of width a and traveled distance L to the screen where the photograph was made. Consider the width of the central bright fringe, measured between the centers of the dark fringes on both sides of it. Rank from largest to smallest the widths of the central fringe in the following situations and note any cases of equality. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) (a) The experiment is performed as photographed. (b) The experiment is performed with light whose frequency is increased by 50%. (c) The experiment is performed with light whose wavelength is increased by 50%. (d) The experiment is performed with the original light and with a slit of width 2a. (e) The experiment is performed with the original light and slit and with distance 2L to the screen. Need Help?
