Question

Two slits spaced 0.295 mm apart are placed 0.680 m from a screen and illuminated by coherent light with a wavelength of 650 nm. The intensity at the center of the central maximum (? = 0°) is I0. (a) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum? mm (b) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the point where the intensity has fallen to I0/2? mm

central maximum to the first minimum?
 mm
(b) What is the distance on the screen from the center of the
central maximum to the point where the intensity has fallen
to I0/2?
 mm

Step 1

). For the central maximum, we have θ = 0, so the formula simplifies to: mλ = 0 which means that m = 0 (since λ is nonzero). Show more…
