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.

- A Young's double-slit experiment is set up so that the screen is positioned 1.43 m from the double slits. If the spacing between the two slits is 43.2 um and the distance between the central order bright spot and the bright spots to either side is 1.51 cm, then what is the wavelength for the light source (in nm)? Your Answer:arrow_forwardWhen illuminating the observation screen directly, without any slits, you notice that the laser has a spread, meaning that the light on the screen becomes larger as you increase the distance between you and the screen. Determine the angular spread of the 710.5 nm wavelength laser beam if the circular aperture of the laser is 0.7 mm in diameter.

- How the data were collected:Align the light source (laser diode: 650 nm on label) on an optical bench. Setup a white screen that is parallel with respect to the slit disk’s orientation. Measure the distance between the slit disk and the screen (this serves as the slit-to-screen distance d). Record the position of dark fringes on the screen using a pen or a pencil.Measure the distance ∆y1 between the first-order (m = ±1) minima and record this distance in Tables W1 and W2. Also measure the distance ∆y2 between the second-order (m = ±2) minima and record it in Table W2. Divide the distances between side orders by two (2) to get the distances from the center of the pattern to the first and second order minima (ym = 1 2 ∆ym). Record these values of ym in Tables W1 and W2.The data from the experiment is: Single Slit Diffraction Experiment Data Slit Width, a (mm) Δy_1 (cm) Δy_2 (cm) Δy_3 (cm) 0.02 2.80 0.04 1.00 1.90 0.08 0.45 0.90 1.45 0.16 0.20 0.50 0.70 Source-to-Slit…arrow_forwardA.
