A pair of narrow slits that are 1.8 mm apart is illuminated by a monochromatic coherent light source. A fringe pattern is observed on a screen 4.8 m from the slits. If there are 5.0 bright fringes/cm on the screen, what is the wavelength of the monochromatic light?

A) 550 nm B) 600 nm C) 650 nm D) 700 nm E) 750 nm

Solutions

Expert Solution

apply Y = mLR/d

d = 1.8 mm

so wavelgnth L = Yd/mR

L = (1*10^-2 * 1.8 mm/(5 * 4.8)

L = 750 nm

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference minima at \pm 35.09 degrees on either side of the central bright spot. You then immerse these slits in a transparent liquid and illuminate them with the same light. Now you find that the first minima occur at \pm 19.48 degrees instead. a) What is the index of refraction of this liquid? Express your answer using four significant figures.
