Question

The next three questions refer to the graph of light intensity vs. position of the probe shown below. The graph was made with a laser pointer (650 nm) shined through two very narrow slits separated by a small distance. The slits were 3 meters away from the probe.

ANSWER BOTH PLEASE

What is the separation of the slits in millimeters?

What is the width of the slits in millimeters?

Explanation / Answer

Light of wavelength 680 nm falls on two slits and produces an interference pattern in which the fourth-order fringe is 48 mm from the central fringe on a screen 1.5 m away. What is the separation of the two slits? Solution. for constructive interference, the path difference is a multiple of the wavelength:    dsin ? = m?,  m = 0, 1, 2, . . . We find the location on the screen form    y = Ltan ? For small angles, we have  sin ? = tan ?, which igves   y = L(m?/d) = mL?/d For the fourth order we have 48 x 10-3 m = (1.5 m)(680 x 10-9 m)(4)/d, which gives d = 8.5 x 10-5 m = 0.085 mm.
