Light from two lasers is incident on an opaque barrier with a single slit of width 4.0 x 10^-4 m. One laser emits light of wavel
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm

b) y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm

Explanation:

The formula of Young's Double Slit experiment will be used here:

y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\

where,

y = distance between dark spots = ?

λ = wavelength

L = distance of screen = 2 m

d = slit width = 4 x 10⁻⁴ m

a) FOR λ = 480 nm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁷ m:

y = \frac{(4.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm</u>

<u></u>

a) FOR λ = 640 nm = 6.4 x 10⁻⁷ m:

y = \frac{(6.4\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm</u>
