Questions on Diffraction and Interference

1. Monochromatic light is incident on two slits separated by 0.30 mm, and the first bright fringe (n=1 antinode) is
located at an angle of 0.0800 from the central antinode. What is the wavelength of the light?

2. Blue light of 460 nm is incident on two slits that are 0.55 mm apart. What is the angle of diffraction for the third
antinodal line?

3. The second nodal line of an interference pattern occurs at 0.0950 relative to the central antinode. The two slits
are separated by 0.40 mm. What is the wavelength and color of light producing this pattern?

4. A student measuring the wavelength of light emitted by a krypton gas sample directs the light through two slits
separated by 0.264 mm. An interference pattern is created on a screen 3.0 m from the slits and the distance
 between the second bright (n=2 antinode) fringe and the central antinode is measured to be 1.18 cm. What is
one of the wavelengths of light emitted by the krypton gas sample?

5. Monochromatic light is incident on two slits separated by 3.00 x 10-5 m. The distance between antinodes is 3.10 x
10-2 m. If the screen is 1.50 m from the slits, what is the light’s colour and wavelength?

6. A student used light of wavelength 5.00 x 10-7 m and found that the distance between the third node and the
central antinode was 1.00 x 10-1 m. If the screen was located 1.20 m away from the slits, how far apart are the
slits?
