In a two-slit experiment, monochromatic coherent light of wavelength 500 nm passes through a pair of slits separated by 1.30 x 10-5 m. At what angle away from the centerline does the first bright fringe occur

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.20°

Explanation:

For the central bright spot, we will use the constructive pattern for a double slit interference,

[tex]m\times w = d \times Sin\beta[/tex]

where w indicates the wavelength

and [tex]\beta[/tex] indicates the angle between the bright spot and center line.

now we will use the given values,

1 × 500 × 10^-9 = 1.3 × 10^-5 × Sin [tex]\beta[/tex]

Solving for [tex]\beta[/tex],

[tex]\beta[/tex] = 2.204° ~ 2.20°

Therefore the correct answer is 2.20°
