Answer:
Explanation:
Answer:
The slits are 246 and 62 wavelengths wide, respectively.
Explanation:
Given that there are two slits:
the largest slit = x1 = 0.16mm or 0.00016m wide
the smallest slit = x2 = 0.04mm or 0.00004m wide, and
the wavelength of laser light = λ = 650nm or 650 × 10˄—9m
(a) the largest slit is X wavelengths wide where X = x1/ λ
Therefore, X = 0.00016m/650 × 10˄—9m = 246 wavelengths
(b) the smallest slit is X1 wavelengths wide, where X1 = x2/ λ
Therefore, Y = 0.00004m/650 × 10˄—9m = 62 wavelengths
