Question
Select True or False to each of the following statements about this week's Diffraction experiment. Specifically, the equations:
asinn=n
and
a=nD/xn
In order to receive credit for this question you must answer ALL statements correctly. NOTE: The number of attempts has been reduced on this question.
True False The character n can be any non-zero integer (i.e. ...-3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3...).
True False The small angle approximation can be used if the distance D is much, much smaller than the distance xn.
True False The distance D is the distance from the single slit to the diffraction pattern displayed on a screen.
True False The distance xn is the distance from the central maximum to the nth diffraction minimum.
Explanation / Answer
False The character n can be any non-zero integer (i.e. ...-3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3...).
False The small angle approximation can be used if the distance D is much, much smaller than the distance xn.
True The distance D is the distance from the single slit to the diffraction pattern displayed on a screen.
True The distance xn is the distance from the central maximum to the nth diffraction minimum.
