Physics 205B Quiz 3, spring semester 2016
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
A red laser (wavelength 632 nm) illuminates two slits, producing a first maximum located at angle of 27° on a screen located 1.75 m away. The two slits are spaced __________ apart.
(A) 0.29 µm.
(B) 0.70 µm.
(C) 1.1 µm.
(D) 1.4 µm.
Correct answer (highlight to unhide): (D)
The first maxima angle θ for double-slit (and grating) interference is given by relation:
d·sinθ = m·λ,
where m = 1, such that:
d = λ/sinθ = (632×10–9 nm)/sin(27°) = 1.39209...×10–6 m,
or to two significant figures, 1.4 µm.
(Response (A) is λ·sinθ; response (B) is λ/(2·sinθ); and response (C) is λ·L.)
