A double slit interference experiment is set up in a laboratory using a source of blue monochromatic light of wavelength 475nm.the separation of the two slit is 0.40mm and the distance from the slit to the screen where the fringe are observed is 2.20m. calculate the fringe separation, and the angle between the middle of the fringe and the middle of the second bright fringe

1 answer

Fringe separation = Wavelength x Distance/Slit Separation

Fringe separation = 475nm x 2.2m/0.4mm

Fringe separation = 5.4375mm

Angle between the middle of the fringe and the middle of the second bright fringe = Fringe separation/Distance

Angle between the middle of the fringe and the middle of the second bright fringe = 5.4375mm/2.2m

Angle between the middle of the fringe and the middle of the second bright fringe = 0.2475 radians
