- In a Young's double-slit experiment, the slit separation dis made twice as big (doubled) but the fringe pattern observed on the screen does not change. Which of the following changes would keep the pattern identical when dis doubled? Use a wavelength of light that is half as big but keep the distance from the slits to the screen constant. Use a frequency of light that is twice as big but keep the distance from the slits to the screen constant. Change the distance from the slits to the screen to be half of what it was originally but keep the wavelength of light the same. More than one of the above would work. O None of the above.arrow_forwardWrite down an expression for the highest order mof diffraction in a double slit experiment if the distance between the slits is a and slits are illuminated with light of the wavelength . Please use "*" (without the quotes) for products (e.g. B*A), "/" for ratios (e.g. B/A) and the usual "+" and "- "signs as appropriate. For exponents (e.g. A²) use A*A or A^2 notation: thus A³/B should appear as either A*A*A/B or A^3/B. For greek letters use "theta" (without the quotes) and for trigonometric functions use "cos", "tan", "sin" (without the quotes). Thus for Acose use A*cos theta.
