Question

1) Two narrow slits are used to produce a double-slit interferencepattern with monochromatic light ( = 580 nm). The slits are separated by 0.60 mm, and the interference pattern is projectedonto a screen 7.0 m away from theslits. (a) What is the distance between two nearbybright fringes on the screen?
m

(b) What is the distance between two nearby dark fringes on thescreen? Assume the fringes are near the center of the interferencepattern.
m 2) Sound waves with a wavelength of0.50 m are emitted coherently (i.e.,in phase with each other) from two sources. These waves are foundto interfere constructively at a point P that is1.20 m from one of the sources. Whatis the distance from P to the other source? Note:There is more than one correct answer. Give the solutionscorresponding to m = 0, 1, 2. m distance (m) 0 1 2

Explanation / Answer

Wavelength = 580 * 10 ^ -9 m

Separation of the slits d= 0.6 * 10 ^ -3 m

Distance of the screen from slits D = 7 m
