shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. the slit spacing is 0.20 mm and the screen is 1.7 m behind the slits. what is the wavelength (in nm ) of the light?

Respuesta :

The wavelength of light is 619.04 nm.

Solution:

From the figure, the distance between four maxima Y = 2.0 cm

Distance between successive bright fringes Ay Y/4=0.5 cm = 0.005m

We know Ay - 2D d (1)

d = 0.20mm = 1.7 x 10m

D= 17m

From equation (1)

∧ =Δyd/D  

∧ = 0.005×0.20×10⁻³/17 = 619.04 nm

Wavelength is the distance between identical points in adjacent cycles of a waveform signal propagating in space or along a wire. In wireless systems, this length is usually expressed in meters, centimeters, or millimeters. Wavelength is the distance between two wave crests and the same for wave troughs.
