A red light is made to pass through two slits that are 1.60 E−3 m apart. On a screen 5.00 m behind the slits, an interference pattern appears, with bands of light separated by 2.20 E−3 m. What is the wavelength of the light?
Added by Laura V.
Step 1
We know that the interference pattern is formed due to the diffraction of light through the two slits. This phenomenon is described by the double-slit interference formula: sin(θ) = (m * λ) / d where θ is the angle between the central maximum and the m-th Show more…

A beam of red light is made to pass through two slits that are 3.55 E-3 meters apart. On a screen 2.25 meters away from the slits, an interference pattern appears with bands of light separated by 1.25 E-4 meters. What is the wavelength of the light?

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.210 mm, and a screen is placed 5.20 m from the slits. If the bright interference fringes on the screen are separated by 1.60 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser light? nm

A single slit of width $0.140 \mathrm{~mm}$ is illuminated by monochromatic light, and diffraction bands are observed on a screen $2.00 \mathrm{~m}$ away. If the second dark band is $16.0 \mathrm{~mm}$ from the central bright band, what is the wavelength of the light?
