A coherent electromagnetic wave of wavelength 656.3 nm passes through a single s

Question

A coherent electromagnetic wave of wavelength 656.3 nm passes through a single slit with width a = 0.460 mm. Assume the screen is 1.82 m form the slit. What is the distance from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum (zero) in intensity on screen? What is the distance between the first minimum and the 5th minimum in intensity on screen? From your answer to part , what is the width of the central maximum? In this problem, in what range is the electromagnetic wave ? Circle one: x-ray range visible range ultra-violet range in the range of radio waves

Explanation / Answer

a)xm=(m+1/2)L/d

x1=(1+.5)656.3*10-9*1.82/.46*10-3=3.89*10-3m
