Question

Laser light of wavelength 500.0 nm illuminates two identical slits, producing an interference pattern on a screen 90.0 cm from the slits. The bright bands are 1.00 cm apart, and the third bright bands on either side of the central maximum are missing in the pattern. Find the width and the separation of the two slits.

Step 1

- Wavelength of laser light, \(\lambda = 500.0 \, \text{nm} = 500.0 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m}\). - Distance from slits to screen, \(L = 90.0 \, \text{cm} = 0.90 \, \text{m}\). - Distance between bright bands, \(\Delta y = 1.00 \, \text{cm} = 0.01 \, \text{m}\). - Show more…
