In a doubleslit interference experiment the wavelength is 6
In a double-slit interference experiment, the wavelength is = 602 nm, the slit separation is d = 0.160 mm, and the screen is D = 34.0 cm away from the slits. What is the linear distance between the 6th order maximum and the 4th order maximum on the screen?
x = _______mm
Solution
= 602 nm , d = 0.160 mm , D = 34.0 cm , m = 4,6
now Ym = mL/d
dY = Y6-Y4
dY = 6L/d - 4L/d = 4L/d = (4*602*10^-9*34*10^-2)/(0.160*10^-3) = 0.00511 m OR 5.11 mm
