A screen is placed 1.70 m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40 cm wide-that is, the two first-order diffraction minima are separated by 1.40 cm.
What is the distance between the two second-order minima?
Express your answer to three significant figures.
fringe width for 1st order minima
x = n L D/d
since fringe width is directly proportional to n
so
x2/ x1 = n2/n1
x2 = (n2/n1)x2
for 2nd order
x2' = 2 x2 = 2* ( 2/1) * (1.4 /2)
x2' = 2.8 cm

A screen is placed 18.0 cm behind a single slit (which is very close for these types of experiments). In the resulting diffraction pattern, the distance between the two third-order minima is 7.50 cm. What is the distance between the two eighth-order minima?
1.How wide is the central diffraction peak on a screen 2.40 m behind a 0.0368-mm-wide slit illuminated by 568-nm light? Express your answer using three significant figures. 2.Light of wavelength 610 nm falls on a slit that is 3.60×10−3 mm wide. Part A How far the first bright diffraction fringe is from the strong central maximum if the screen is 13.0 m away.
A screen is placed 50 cm from a single slit which is illuminated with 690 nm light. If the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum of the diffraction pattern is 3 mm, how wide is the slit?

between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern is
2.80 mm, what is the width of the slit?
A screen is placed 49.0 cm from a single slit, which is illuminated with light of wavelength 684 nm. If the distance between the first and third minima in the diffraction pattern is 2.80 mm, what is the...
A diffraction pattern is produced on a screen 144 cm from a single slit, using monochromatic light of wavelength 520 nm. The distance from the center of the central maximum to the first-order maximum is 3.80 mm. Calculate the slit width. (Hint: Assume that the first-order maximum is halfway between the first- and second-order minima.) mm
Round your final answers to three significant figures. The central bright fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern from light of wavelength 633 nm is 2.50 cm wide on a screen that is 1.050 m from the slit. (a) How wide is the slit? mm (b) How wide are the first two bright fringes on either side of the central bright fringe? (Define the width of a bright fringe as the linear distance from minimum to minimum) cm
In a single-slit diffraction pattern on a flat screen, the central bright fringe is 1.6 cm wide when the slit width is 2.8 × 10-5 m. When the slit is replaced by a second slit, the wavelength of the light and the distance to the screen remaining unchanged, the central bright fringe broadens to a width of 2.3 cm. What is the width of the second slit? It may be assumed that is so small that sin is approximately equal...
