A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli

ts, and interference pattern formed on a wall several meters away has bright fringes spaced 5.00 mm apart near the center of the pattern. When the laser is replaced by a small laser pointer, the fringes are 5.14 mm apart. What is the wavelength of the light produced by the laser pointer?

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

kogti [31]

Answer:

2.82942\times 10^{24}\ W\m^2

Explanation:

d = Diameter of spot = 30 μm

r = Radius of spot = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15\ mu m

P = Power of the laser = 2\times 10^{15}\ W

A = Area = \pi r^2

Intensity is given by

I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{2\times 10^{15}}{\pi\times (15\times 10^{-6})^2}\\\Rightarrow I=2.82942\times 10^{24}\ W/m^2

The light intensity within this spot is 2.82942\times 10^{24}\ W/m^2
