Question

Light of wavelength 580 nm falls on a slit that is 3.70×10−3mm wide. Part A Estimate how far the first brightest diffraction fringe is from the strong central maximum if the screen is 10.0 m away.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

wavelength λ = 580 x 10⁻⁹ m

slit width d = 3.7 x 10⁻⁶ m

distance of screen D = 10 m

distance of first bright fringe = 1.5 x λ D / d

= 1.5 x 580 x 10⁻⁹ x 10 / 3.7 x 10⁻⁶

= 2351.34 x 10⁻³ m

= 2351.34 mm .
