24.1 and 24.2 Young’s double-slit experiment and Index of refraction, light speed, and wave coherence
Sound from speakers Sound of frequency 680 Hz is synchronized as it leaves two speakers that are separated by 0.80 m on an open field. Draw a sketch of this arrangement and draw a line from between the speakers to a location where the sound is intense and equidistant from the two speakers (the 0th order maximum). Determine the angular deflection of a line from between the speakers to the 1st order intensity maximum to the side of this 0th order maximum. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.

- A single-slit diffraction experiment is performed using light of different colours. The width of the central peak in the diffraction pattern is measured for each colour. What is the order of the colours that corresponds to increasing widths of the central peak? A. red, green, blue red, blue, green blue, green, red green, blue, red B. C. D.arrow_forwardA laboratory experiment produces a single-slit diffraction pattern on a screen. The slit width is a and the light wavelength is λ. In this case, A. B. C. D. 2 a Not enough info to compare to aarrow_forwardCan you please hand write the answer clear please (hand write) thank youarrow_forward
- Explain the steps to find the answer, which equation you are using and why you are using it. Also a small reflection about the problem. Thanks.arrow_forwardIf parallel light falls on a single slit of width D at a28.0° angle to the normal, describe the diffraction patternarrow_forward1- Describe (in detail) the interference pattern that theory predicts would have appeared on the screen 2- Explain what the single slit does to the light source and why it must be present to the left of the double slit in order to see a clear pattern on the screen.arrow_forward
- Single-slit Diffraction Diffraction Destructive interference for a single slit A single slit diffraction experiment uses 525 nm light falling on a slit of width 0.7 micrometers. At what angle in degrees will the first minimum be? a sin = mà for m = ±1, +2, +3.... Intensity Skill: Use the single-slit diffraction equation to solve for slit width. (a) (b) Figure 4.3 Single-sit diffraction pattern. (a) Monochromatic light passing through a single sit has a central maximum and mary smaller and dim d dimmer maxima on either side. The central maximum is six times higher than shown. (b) The diagram shows the bright cantral maximum, and the dimmer and thinner maxima on either side.arrow_forwardTSN-3 Two speakers 4.00m apart sit against the middle of one wall of a room that measures 10.0m by 30.0m. They produce sound with a wavelength of 0.900m a) What is the difference in path length for the waves from the two speakers that arrive at point C in the corner of the room as shown to the right? b) Trung stands against the right-hand wall at point O directly in front of the two speakers. If Trung starts walking toward corner C, how many maxima will he hear after leaving point O before he reaches point C? Ignore the effect of reflections from the walls, floor, and ceiling. Ar Clearly explain your answer in terms of 2 c) Trung again stands against the right-hand wall at point o directly in front of the two speakers. If Trung starts walking toward corner C, how many minima will he hear before he reaches point C? Ignore the effect of reflections from the 2.00m 2.00m. Ar walls, floor, and ceiling.

Young's experiment provided evidence that light exhibits particle-like behavior, B. Young's experiment depends upon the use of white light from two sources. C. The two sources of light in Young's experiment could be two different light bulbs. D.For Young's condition for constructive and destructive interference to be geometrically valid, the wavelength of the light must be comparable or greater than the slit separation distance. E. Thomas Young was able to determine the wavelength of a light wave.arrow_forward
