Coherent light with wavelength 594 nm passes through two very narrow slits, and the interference pattern is observed on a screen a distance of 3.00 m from the slits. The first-order bright fringe is a distance of 4.84 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. For what wavelength of light will thefirst-order dark fringe be observed at this same point on thescreen?

Respuesta :

The position of bright fringes Y_m on screen in double slit experiment is given by following expressión

[tex]y_m={m\lambdaD}{d}[/tex]

We can solve for d, clearing the variables, so

[tex]d=\frac{m\lambda D}{y_m}[/tex]

So making the substitution for λ= 594nm, D=3m, y_1=4.84 and m=1, we have

[tex]d=\frac{594*10^{-9}*3*1}{4.84*10^{-3}}\\d=3.7*10^{-4}m[/tex]

Through this value we can find the position of dark fringes y_m on screen. The following expressión can approach better,

[tex]y_m=(m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{\lambda D}{d}[/tex]

To solve the wavelength m is equal to 0,

[tex]y_0=\frac{\lambda D}{2d}[/tex]

clearing for \lambda

[tex]\lambda = \frac{2y_0 d}{D}[/tex]

Making the substitution for [tex]y_0=4.84mm, d=3.7*10^{-4}, D=3m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\frac{2(4.84*10^{-3})(3.7*10^{-4})}{3}\\\lambda=1.19 \mu m[/tex]

So we have that the wavelength required is [tex]1.19 \mu m[/tex]

The wavelength of light will thefirst-order dark fringe be observed at this same point on thescreen [tex]\lambda=1.19\ \mu m[/tex]

What is wavelength?

The wavelength of any wave is defined as the distance between two max adjacent amplitudes, or the distance between two successive troughs or crest.

The position of bright fringes Y_m on screen in double slit experiment is given by following expressión

[tex]y_m=md[/tex]

We can solve for d, clearing the variables, so

[tex]d=\dfrac{m\lambda D}{y_m}[/tex]

So making the substitution for λ= 594nm, D=3m, y_1=4.84 and m=1, we have

[tex]d=\dfrac{594\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times1}{4.84\times 10^{-3}}[/tex]

[tex]d=3.7\times 10^{-4}\ m[/tex]

Through this value we can find the position of dark fringes y_m on screen. The following expressión can approach better,

[tex]y_m=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}[/tex]

To solve the wavelength m is equal to 0,

[tex]y_o=\dfrac{\lambda D}{2d}[/tex]

clearing for [tex]\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{2y_od}{D}[/tex]

Making the substitution for

[tex]y_o=4.84\ mm \ d=3.7\times 10^{-4}\ D=3\ m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{2(4.84\times 10^{-3}(3.7\times 10^{-4})}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda= 1.19\ \mu m[/tex]

So we have that the wavelength required is  [tex]\lambda=1.19\ \mu m[/tex]
