A double-slit experiment is performed using a helium-neon laser, with wavelength of 632.8 nm. The slit distance is 0.5 mm, and the distance to the screen is 1.8 m.

What is the width of the central bright fringe?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Width of central bright fringe will be 0.00228 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of light [tex]\lambda =632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

Distance between the slits [tex]d=0.5mm=0.5\times 10^{-3}m[/tex]

Distance between slit and screen D = 1.8 m

We have to find the width

We know that width is given by

[tex]width=\frac{\lambda D}{d}=\frac{632.8\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.5\times 10^{-3}}=0.00228m[/tex]

So width of central bright fringe will be 0.00228 m
