1. In a Young's double-slit experiment the wavelength of light used is 520 nm (in


vacuum), and the separation between the slits is 1.4 × 10-6 m. Determine the angle that
locates (a) the dark fringe for which m = 0, (b) the bright fringe for which m =
1, (c) the dark fringe for which m = 1, and (d) the bright fringe for which m = 2.

5. In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the seventh dark fringe is located 0.025 m to


the side of the central bright fringe on a flat screen, which is 1.1 m away from the slits.
The separation between the slits is 1.4 × 10-4 m. What is the wavelength of the light
being used?

9. In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-


order bright fringe and the central bright fringe on a flat screen is 0.0180 m, when the
light has a wavelength of 411 nm. Assume that the angles are small enough so that
sin is approximately equal to tan . Find the separation y when the light has a
wavelength of 585 nm.

55. In a Young’s double-slit experiment, two rays of monochromatic light emerge


from the slits and meet at a point on a distant screen, as in Figure 27.6a. The point on
the screen where these two rays meet is the eighth-order bright fringe. The difference
in the distances that the two rays travel is 4.57 × 10-6 m. What is the wavelength (in
nm) of the monochromatic light?
