Answer:
A) y = 3.56 mm
B) y = 3.56 mm
Explanation:
A) The distance from the central maximum to the first bright region can be found using Young's double-slit equation:
[tex] y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d} [/tex]
Where:
λ: is the wavelength = 546.1 nm
m: is first bright region = 1
L: is the distance between the screen and the plane of the parallel slits = 1.50 m
d: is the separation between the slits = 0.230 mm
[tex] y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d} = \frac{1*546.1 \cdot 10^{-9} m*1.50 m}{0.230 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 3.56 \cdot 10^{-3} m [/tex]
B) The distance between the first and second dark bands is:
[tex] \Delta y = \frac{\Delta m*\lambda L}{d} [/tex]
Where:
[tex] \Delta m = m_{2} - m_{1} = 2 - 1 = 1 [/tex]
[tex] \Delta y = \frac{1*546.1 \cdot 10^{-9} m*1.50 m}{0.230 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 3.56 \cdot 10^{-3} m [/tex]
I hope it helps you!
