When a wave of light strikes a diffraction screen (or grating) it will cause the wave to pass through each slit, causing the emerging light to radiate outward as if from a new source. These newly formed waves create alternating patterns of constructive and destructive interference, which can be observed when projected onto a screen. Select the variables listed below that determine the angle at which these patterns occur (you might need to select more than one answer):

Answer:

The answer is "the angle depends on wavelength and distance of slits".

Step-by-step explanation:


d \sin \theta = m\lambda as well as angular, of mth order darkened border is indicated only by angular position, the
\theta mth order bright border generated by a light wavelength
\lambda , and use the grating of the segregation slit.


d \sin \theta = ( m + (1)/(2)) \lambda

Therefore,
\theta depends on d and
\lambda for a specific order.
