Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

on a screen 3.35 m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side.
(a) What is the width of the central bright fringe?

(b) What is the width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one?

Answer:

a)y_{first}=5.3mm

b)y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm  

Explanation:

a)

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a} when m is a natural number.

here:

  • m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)                
  • D is the distance from the slit to the screen
  • a is the slit wide
  • λ is the wavelength

So we have:

y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{first}=5.3mm

b)

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{2}=10.6 mm

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm    

I hope it heps you!

avanturin [10]

Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released
