Textbook Question
Chapter 35.2, Problem 35.2TYU
You shine a tunable laser (whose wavelength can be adjusted by turning a knob) on a pair of closely spaced slits. The light emerging from the two slits produces an interference pattern on a screen like that shown in Fig. 35.6. If you adjust the wavelength so that the laser light changes from red to blue, how will the spacing between bright fringes change? (i) The spacing increases; (ii) the spacing decreases; (iii) the spacing is unchanged; (iv) not enough information is given to decide.

Light from a laser with a wavelength of 760 nm is directed at a diffraction grating of 1500 lines/cm. If the diffraction grating is located 1.5 m from the screen, calculate the distance between adjacent bright fringes.
51. Lenses often contain thin coatings to reduce reflections and UV radiation. Explain how this works.
Suppose a laser shines through a double slit with separation d. The patern on the screen is .9 m from the slits. The distance between the two bright fringes (△y) is measured in mm. See the attatched plot. What is the wave number for the light in inverse nanometers?
A parallel beam of light from a He-Ne laser, with a wavelength 633nm, falls on two very narrow slits 0.064mm apart. How far apart are the fringes in the center of the pattern on a screen 3.9m away?
