Chapter 35.4, Problem 35.5CE
When we studied Young’s double-slit experiment, we mostly ignored the dark fringe pattern produced by diffraction. Use Figure 35.21 to describe situations in which that omission makes sense. Think especially about the single slit used in front of the double slit in Young’s experiment (Fig. 35.9).

Light with wavelength i passes through a narrow slit of width w and is seen on a screen which
is located at a distance D in front of the slit. The first minimum of the diffraction pattern is at
distance d from the middle of the central maximum. Calculate the wavelength of light if D=2.5

Fringes in the Thomas Young experiment are produced using sodium light of wavelength 495 nm and two slits which are 1.2 mm apart. If the fringes are formed on a screen 1.0 m away from the slits, how far is the third order bright fringe from the middle of the screen? Give your answer in millimeters (mm).
In a Young's double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and
the screen is a distance R from the slits. R is much greater than d and > is
the wavelength of the light. The number of bright fringes per unit width
on the screen is:
d/RX
R/dλ
Rd/λ

- Coherent microwave light with a frequency f= 2.0*1010 Hz is incident on a d=5.0 cm double slit barrier, producing an interference pattern of a number of maxima and minima. A detector is free to swing around the full 180 degrees in order to find the presence of intereference maxima and minima. How many different minima will this detector detect, as it is allowed to swing around the full 180 degrees?

Number Units Use correct number of significant digits; the tolerance is +/-2%arrow_forwardWhen an x-ray beam is scattered off the planes of a crystal, the scattered beam creates an interference pattern. This phenomenon is called Bragg scattering. For an observer to measure an interference maximum, two conditions have to be satisfied: 1. The angle of incidence has to be equal to the angle of reflection. 2. The difference in the beam's path from a source to an observer for neighboring planes has to be equal to an integer multiple of the wavelength; that is, 2d sin(0) = mx for m = 1, 2, .... The path difference 2d sin(0) can be determined from the diagram (Figure 1). The second condition is known as the Bragg condition.

Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. An interference pattern is produced when light is incident upon two slits that are 50.0 micrometers apart. The perpendicular distance from the midpoint between the slits to the screen is 7.65 m.
