Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, thin object, such as a strand of hair. In that case, a is the width of the strand. From actual laboratory measurements on a human hair, it was found that when a beam of light of wavelength 634.2 nm was shone on a single strand of hair, and the diffracted light was viewed on a screen 1.35 m away, the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright spot were 5.40 cm apart.
How thick was this strand of hair?

When monochromatic light passes through a narrow slit it produces on a screen a diffraction pattern consisting of bright and dark fringes. The intensity of the bright fringes, I, as a function of can be calculated by: where Where is the light wave length and a is the width of the slit. Plot the relative intenstiy I / Imax as a function of for -20o <= <= 20o. Make one plot that contains three graphs for the cases a =...
