Which is a statement of reasoning about the two-slit interference experiment? Using longer wavelength light will cause the fringes to be farther apart. The screen shows a pattern of bright fringes and dark fringes. If the distance between the slits is increased, the bright fringes will be closer. When the electromagnetic wave peaks overlap, a bright fringe forms.

Question 1 ) A) In a Young's double slit experiment the separation of the slits is 0.23 mm. The wavelength of the light is 509 nm. Determine the angle at which the third dark fringe out from the centre occurs. Give your answer as a positive value. B) In a Young's double slit experiment the separation of the slits is 0.28 mm. The distance to the screen is 1.16 m. The third bright fringe is a distance of 5.2 mm from the central fringe. Determine the wavelenght of the light.

In a Young's interference experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.170 mm and the incident light includes two wavelengths: λ1 = 540 nm (green) and λ2 = 450 nm (blue). The overlapping interference patterns are observed on a screen 1.41 m from the slits. (a) Find a relationship between the orders m1 and m2 that determines where a bright fringe of the green light coincides with a bright fringe of the blue light. (The order m1 is associated with λ1, and m2 is associated with λ2.) m2 / m1 = (b) Find the minimum values of m1 and m2 such that the overlapping of the bright fringes will occur. m1 = m2 = Find the position of the overlap on the screen. cm from the central maximum
