Question

A beam of monochromatic green light is diffracted by a slit of width 0.550 $\mathrm{mm}$ . The diffraction pattern forms on a wall 2.06 $\mathrm{m}$ beyond the slit. The distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central bright fringe is 4.10 $\mathrm{mm}$ . Calculate the wavelength of the light.

Step 1

550 \, mm = 0.550 \times 10^{-3} \, m\) - Distance between the slit and the wall, $D = 2.06 \, m$ - Distance between the positions of zero intensity on both sides of the central bright fringe, $\Delta Y = 4.10 \, mm = 4.10 \times 10^{-3} \, m$ Show more…
