An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 600 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel slits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.560 mm .

If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular position of the first-order, two-slit, interference maxima?

What would be the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima in this case?

Let the slits have a width 0.280 mm . In terms of the intensity I0 at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position of θ1?

Light of wavelength 600 nm passes though two slits separated by 0.25mm and is observed on a screen 1.1m behind the slits. The location of the central maximum is marked on the screen and labeled y = 0. A very thin piece of glass is then placed in one slit. Because light travels slower in glass than in air, the wave passing through the glass is delayed by 5.0
