Note: if the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 maxima to be 25 cm
Answer:
d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m
Explanation:
given:
length L = 4.0m
maximum distance between m = 0 and m = 1 , y = 25cm = 0.25m
wavelength λ = 633nm = 633×10⁻⁹m
note:
dsinθ = mλ (constructive interference)
where d is slit seperation, θ is angle of seperation , m is order of interference , and λ is wavelength
for small angle
sinθ ≈ tanθ
mλ
d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m
