Light from a green laser of wavelength 530 nm passes

Chapter 24, Problem 2MCQ

(choose chapter or problem)

Light from a green laser of wavelength \(530 \mathrm{~nm}\) passes through two slits that are \(400 \mathrm{~nm}\) apart. The resulting pattern formed on a screen in front of the slits is shown in Fig. 24–55. If point A is the same distance from both slits, how much closer is point B to one slit than to the other?

(a) \(530 \mathrm{~nm}\)

(b) \(265 \mathrm{~nm}\)

(c) \(400 \mathrm{~nm}\)

(d) \(0 \mathrm{~nm}\)

(e) It depends on the distance to the screen.
