Question

IP The interference pattern shown in Figure

(a) is produced by green light with a wavelength of \(\lambda=505 \mathrm{~nm}\) passing through two slits with a separation of \(127 \mu m\). After passing through the slits, the light forms a pattern of bright and dark spots on a screen located from the slits. (a) What is the distance between the two vertical, dashed lines in Figure (a)?

(b) If it is desired to produce a more tightly packed interference pattern, like the one shown in Figure (b), should the frequency of the light be increased or decreased? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Here, we have to calculate the wavelength of the second colour.
