When illuminated with light of wavelength 672 nm (6.72 x 10-7 m), the first dark fringe produced by a single slit lies a distance of 1.4 cm from the center of the screen placed 1.7 m from the slit. (a) How wide is the slit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

slit width a = 0.0406 mm

Explanation:

given details

wavelength = 672 nm

width of central fringe = 2Y_1 = 0.014 m

Y_1 = 0.007

\lambda = 6.72*10{-7} m

x = 1.7 m

slid width [tex]a = \frac{x\lamda}{Y_1}[/tex]

                  a = [tex]=\frac{1.7 *6.72*10^{-7}}{0.007}[/tex]

     slit width a  = 4.06*10^{-4}  m

     slit width a = 0.0406 mm
