Monochromatic light with a wavelength of 600 nanometers (one nanometer is 10-9 meters) is incident upon a double slit arrangemen
t. The interference fringes are seen on a screen that is 10 m from the slits. If the bright fringes are 5 mm apart, what is the slit separation; that is, what is the value of d? Hint: convert all of the values into meters first.

Answer:
a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s
b) v₂ = 5 m/s
Explanation:
a)
We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:
where,
m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg
u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s
u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s
v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s
v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?
Therefore,
<u>v₂ = 4.2 m/s</u>
<u></u>
b)
We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:
where,
m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg
u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s
u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s
v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s
v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?
Therefore,
<u>v₂ = 5 m/s</u>
