8. What is the separation between two slits for which 610-nm orange light has its first maximum at an angle of 30.0º?

Input your answer in µm using 3 significant figures. 



Wave Length λ = nm
Angle of the First Maximum θ = º
d = λ / sin θ

d = µm
d ≈ µm


11. What is the wavelength of light falling on double slits separated by 2.00 μm if the third-order maximum is at an angle of 60.0º ?


Double Slits Separation d = μm
Angle of the n = -Order Maximum θ = º
λ = d/n sin θ

λ = µm
λ ≈ µm


19. Calculate the distance between central and the first-order fringes for 633-nm light falling on double slits separated by 0.0800 mm, located 3.00 m from a screen.?
Input your answer in mm using 3 significant figures.

Wave Length λ = nm
Double Slits Separation d = mm
Distance to the Screen x = m
λ = d sin θ
λ/d = sin θ
Distance between Fringes Δy = x tan θ

Distance between Fringes Δy = mm
Δy ≈ mm
An approximate formula for small angles gives: Δy ≈ x λ / d = mm



27.4 Multiple Slit Diffraction
21. A diffraction grating has 2000 lines per centimeter. At what angle will the first-order maximum be for 520-nm-wavelength green light

Input your answer in degrees using 3 significant figures.

Density of the Lines (Number of Lines per Centimeter) n = cm-1
Wave Length λ = nm

The condition necessary to obtain constructive interference for a diffraction grating is

d sin θ = m λ, for m = 0, 1, –1, 2, –2, … (constructive), (27.11)
where d is the distance between slits in the grating, λ is the wavelength of light, and m is the order of the maximum.
Note that this is exactly the same equation as for double slits separated by d.

Solution:
d sin θ = λ
sin θ = λ / d
n = 1/d
sin θ = λ n
θ = arcsin (λ n)



Angle of the First-Order Maximum θ = °
θ ≈ °



27.5 Single Slit Diffraction
43. At what angle is the first minimum for 550-nm light falling on a single slit of width 1.00 μm?

Input your answer in degrees using 3 significant figures.

Hint:

Destructive Interference for a Single Slit:

D sin θ = m λ, form = 1, –1, 2, –2, 3, …(destructive),        (27.21)

where
D is the slit width,
λ is the light’s wavelength,
θ is the angle relative to the original direction of the light, and
m is the order of the minimum.


Wave Length λ = nm
Slit Width D = μm

Solution:
D sin θ = λ
sin θ = λ / D
θ = arcsin (λ / D)



Angle of the First Minimum θ = °

Input your answer in degrees using 3 significant figures.

Hint:

Destructive Interference for a Single Slit:

D sin θ = m λ, form = 1, –1, 2, –2, 3, …(destructive),        (27.21)

where
D is the slit width,
λ is the light’s wavelength,
θ is the angle relative to the original direction of the light, and
m is the order of the minimum.


Wave Length λ = nm
Slit Width D = μm
Order of the Minimum m =
