Question

click the 'screen' box, it may help to quantify the positions of the peaks by clicking 'intensity'. set the 'slit width' to the lowest setting (200 nm), and increase the light source amplitude to the maximum value. set the barrier location to roughly half the distance between the light source and the screen. finally, set the slit separation to 1750 nm. what happens in the simulation if you move from blue light to orange light? choose 3 correct answers.

Answer 1

In a double slit simulation, shifting from blue to orange light, leads to increased fringe spacing, potential changes in pattern intensity due to amplitude adjustment, and expansion of the interference pattern across the screen.

Step-by-step explanation:

To revolve around changes observed in a double slit experiment simulation when you move from blue light to orange light. When switching from blue light (which has a shorter wavelength) to orange light (which has a longer wavelength), the following changes are expected to occur:

• The fringe spacing on the screen will increase, as longer wavelengths lead to wider spacing between the interference fringes.
• The pattern intensity on the screen might change due to the variation in light amplitude which affects the brightness of the fringes.
• The overall interference pattern will expand across the screen because wavelength is directly proportional to the distance between fringes in the interference pattern of a double slit experiment.

These changes reflect the principles behind wave interference and diffraction, showing how wavelength impacts the double slit experiment results.
