In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength 486 nm, the slit spacing is 0.600 mm and the screen is 2.00 m from the slits. Find the distance along the screen between adjacent bright fringes.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance is [tex]y = 0.00162 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 486 \ nm = 486 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]

   The  slit spacing is  [tex]d = 0.600 \ mm = 0.60 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

    The distance of the screen is  [tex]D = 2.0 \ m[/tex]

 Generally the distance along the screen between adjacent bright fringes is mathematically represented as  

        [tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D}{d}[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]y = \frac{ 486 *10^{-9} * 2}{0.6*10^{-3}}[/tex]

         [tex]y = 0.00162 \ m[/tex]
