What would the wavelength have to be to have three strong interference maxima, with the third at an angle of 88.0 ∘ ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Added by Patricia C.
Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for the angle of interference maxima in a double-slit experiment: d*sin(θ) = m*λ where: d = distance between the slits θ = angle of the interference maxima m = order of the interference maxima λ = wavelength of Show more…

In an x-ray diffraction experiment there is only one strong interference maximum, and this occurs when the x-ray beam makes an angle of 36.0 with the crystal planes. The spacing between the crystal planes is 0.158 nm. (a) What is the wavelength of the x rays? (b) What would the wavelength have to be to have three strong interference maxima, with the third at an angle of 88.0?

Monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance of 0.0396 mm. If the angle to the third maximum above the central fringe is 3.69 degrees, what is the wavelength of the light? Express your answer to three significant figures in units of nm.
