Consider Fraunhofer diffraction of coherent light (e.g., a laser beam) from a double slit. Use Matlab (or some other program) to calculate and plot the diffraction pattern you would expect from two slits, each 0.230 mm wide, with a center-to-center separation of 0.853 mm, on a screen that is 62.3 cm downstream of the slit, when illuminated by a helium-neon laser (??=633 nm). Turn in a printout of your plot – which should have properly labeled axes, etc., of course!

A double-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the separation between the slits decreases, what happens to the distance between interference fringes? Assume the angles involved remain small. The distance between interference fringes remains the same. The effect cannot be determined unless the distance between the slits and the screen is known. The distance between interference fringes also decreases. The distance between interference fringes increases.

In a double slit interference measurement, 6 full bright fringes are inside the second secondary diffraction peak. The bright fringes are completely covered by diffraction minima. The slit separation is 20 micrometers. The distance between the slits and the screen is 1.3m. Laser of wavelength 532 nm is used. a) How many full interference bright fringes can you see within the central diffraction peak? b) What interference maximum coincides with the 4th diffraction minimum? c) Find the distance on the...

Light of unknown wavelength passes through a double slit, yielding both double slit and diffraction patterns on a screen that is 1 m away from the slits. You see that the 9th double-slit maximum coincides with the 2nd single-slit diffraction minimum. You also observe that the first diffraction minimum is located 3 cm from the central axis on the screen. (a) What is the ratio of double-slit separation to single slit width, d/a? (b) If d = 72 µm, what...

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the width of the single slit through which light passes is reduced, what happens to the width of the central bright fringe? Assume the angles involved remain small. The central bright fringe becomes wider. The central bright fringe remains the same size. The effect cannot be determined unless the distance between the slit and the screen is known. The central bright fringe becomes narrower.

Draw the interference pattern for a double-slit interference situation on a screen. Label the constructive and destructive interference regions clearly with words and show the representation clearly. Indicate where the central maximum is. If a pane of glass is inserted in the gap between the slits and screen, what is the effect on the interference pattern? Draw the new pattern next to the original and explain any changes in the positionings of the pattern. Use words to explain as well...
