A beam of monochromatic light with
a wavelength of 500 nm is directed
through an absorber having 5 equally
narrow slits separated by 20 um
between adjacent slits. The resulting
diffraction pattern is observed on a
screen that is perpendicular to the
direction of light and 5 m from the
slits. The intensity of the central
maximum is 1.3 W/m2. Calculate
the distances from the central
maximum to the first and second
principal maxima
respectively.

E. 9.2 cm and 23 cm
For this problem, I know the answer is E but I do not know how to get there. Seeing the steps and equations would be much appreciated. Thank you
Not sure how to approach this problem; could I just find the herze of the moving wave and use that to perform a young's double slit calcuation to start with?

The graph was made with helium-neon laser light of wavelength 630 nm shined through two very narrow slits separated by a small distance. The slits were 2.0 meters away from the probe. What is the path-length difference (from the two slits to the screen) when the probe is at position 9.0 mm, in nm? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Lasilian Position of probe (mm) Light levelarrow_forward

For example, it may be used to measure distances precisely. Suppose the mirror labeled 1 in the figure below is movable. If the laser light has a wavelength of 654.0 nm, how many fringes will pass across the detector if mirror 1 is moved just 1.960 (mm)? If you can easily detect the passage of just one fringe, how accurately can you measure the displacement of the mirror(nm)?arrow_forward
