In a double-slit experiment the slit separation is 0.20 mm, the screen is 2.0 m from the slits and the wavelength is 600 nm. What is the fringe spacing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 6.0 mm
- Step 1: Fringe spacing .
- Step 2: m mm.
Answer
6.0 mm.
Why not the others: 1.2 mm: the slit separation was entered as 1 mm. 60 mm: the slit separation was entered as 0.02 mm. 12 mm: the slit separation was entered as 0.1 mm.
