Suppose the inteference pattern shown in the figure below is produced by
monochromatic light passing through a diffraction grating, that has
260 lines/mm, and onto a screen 1.40m away. What is the wavelength
of light if the distance between the dashed lines is 180cm?
nm
How many (whole) dark fringes will produced
on
on an
infinitely large
screen if red light (2)=700 nm) is incident on two slits that are
20.0 μm apart?
Can someone help me with this physics 2 problem thank you.
