A single slit diffraction experiment performed with an argon laser of wavelength 454.6 nm produces a pattern on a screen with da

rk fringes (minima) separated by 10 mm. If we replace the slit with another slit of double the width of the original one, without changing anything else in the setup, what will be the new separation between dark fringes?

Answer:

5mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the separation between fringes is given by

d = λD/a where d is the separation between fringes, λ is the wavelenth and a is the slit width. If nothing but the slit width is the changed and the setup is unchanged then we can write a comparitive equation such as below

(d2/d1) = (λD/a2)/(λD/a1)

We know that the new slit is double the width, which means a2 = 2 x a1

Substituting the values and simplifying the above equation becomes

(d2/d1) = (λD/2.a1)/(λD/a1) = (λD/2.a1) x (a1/λD/a1)

(d2/d1) = 1/2

d2/10 = 1/2

d2 = 5mm

The length of the side sqaure A is 50% OF THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE SQUARE b
UNO [17]

Let's say the side length of square A is x, which means the side length of square B is 2x.

Then, the area of square A can be written as , and the area of square B can be written as .

There's no diagram here with shaded region, so I'll just find the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B:

= 1/4 = 25%

So, the answer is 25% (note this is the answer to the question: "express the area of square A as a percentage of the area of square B; there is no diagram showing me where the shaded area is, so I cannot answer the original question
