Question
In a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with aseparation of 0.100 mm is illuminated bylight having a wavelength of 592 nm andthe interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits. (a) What is the difference in path lengths fromthe two slits to the location of a fifthorder bright fringe on the screen?1 µm
(b) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits tothe location of the fifth dark fringe onthe screen, away from the center of the pattern?
2 µm (a) What is the difference in path lengths fromthe two slits to the location of a fifthorder bright fringe on the screen?
1 µm
(b) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits tothe location of the fifth dark fringe onthe screen, away from the center of the pattern?
2 µm
Explanation / Answer
= 592 nm a) 5 = 2.96 m b) 4.5 = 2.66 m
