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 p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 28, Problem 19PCE

Predic/Calculate A two-slit experiment with slits separated by 48.0 × 10⁻⁶ in produces a second-order maximum at an angle of 0.0990° (a) Find the wavelength of the light used in this experiment. (b) If the slit separation is increased. Out the second-order maximum stays at the same angle does the wavelength increase decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (c) Calculate the wavelength for a slit separation of 68.0 × 10⁻⁵ m.
