Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 50PCE
Predict/Calculate The diffraction pattern shown in Figure 28-49 is produced by passing He-Ne laser light (λ = 632.8 nm) through a single slit and viewing the pattern on a screen 1.50 behind the slit (a) What is the width of the slit? (b) If monochromatic yellow light with a wavelength of 591 nm is used with this slit instead will the distance indicated in Figure 28 be greater than or less than 15.2 cm? Explain.
