Chapter 36.3, Problem 36.2QQ
Using Figure 36.6 as a model, sketch the interference pattern from six slits.
Figure 36.6 Multiple-slit interference patterns. As N, the number of slits, is increased, the primary maxima (the tallest peaks in each graph) become narrower but remain fixed in position and the number of secondary maxima increases.

The light intensity vs. position graph of a double-slit experiment is shown below. 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.
