Young's Double Slit Apparatus Questions
Not what you're looking for?
A Young's double slit apparatus has the slit separation of 0.12 mm and the distance between the slits and the viewing screen is 55 cm.
1) If monochromatic light of wavelength = 550 x 10-9 m passes through the slits, calculate the distance between the central (bright) fringe and the adjacent bright fringe.
2) Now imagine that you are using X-rays, = 1 x 10-9 m instead of visible light in this experiment. What would the slit separation need to be in order to have the distance between the first two bright fringes be 1 cm ?
