You have been asked to measure the width of a slit in a piece of
paper. You mount the paper 80.0 centimeters from a screen and
illuminate it from behind with laser light of wavelength 633
nanometers (in air). You mark two of the intensity minima as shown
in the figure, and measure the distance between them to be
17.9millimeters. (Figure
1)
What is the width a of the slit? Give your answer in
micrometers, to three sig figs.
