Question: `qGeneral College Physics and Principles of Physics Problem 24.2: The third-order fringe of 610 nm light created by two narrow slits is observed at 18 deg. How far apart are the slits?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

(3*610)/sin18=2900 nm

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`aThe path difference for a 3d-order fringe is 3 wavelengths, so light from one slit travels 3 * 610 nm = 1830 nm further.

The additional distance is equal to slit spacing * sin(18 deg), so using a for slit spacing we have

a sin(18 deg) = 1830 nm.

The slit spacing is therefore

a = 1830 nm / sin(18 deg) = 5920 nm, or 5.92 * 10^-6 meters.
