Solved: A very thin sheet of brass contains two thin

Chapter 35, Problem 35.42

(choose chapter or problem)

A very thin sheet of brass contains two thin parallel slits. When a laser beam shines on these slits at normal incidence and room temperature 120.0C2, the first interference dark fringes occur at 26.6 from the original direction of the laser beam when viewed from some distance. If this sheet is now slowly heated to 135C, by how many degrees do these dark fringes change position? Do they move closer together or farther apart? See Table 17.1 for pertinent information, and ignore any effects that might occur due to a change in the thickness of the slits. (Hint: Thermal expansion normally produces very small changes in length, so you can use differentials to find the change in the angle.)
