Answer: k = 2.07692
Explanation: Please find the attached files for the solution
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.
The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.
You can change as many things as you want to. But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see.
Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it. You don't know.
So your experiment is not really much good. You need to do it again.
Answer:
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
Explanation:
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;
y = mλD/d
Where;
D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m
d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m
The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
y = mλD/d
So, λ = dy/mD
Thus,
λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
