A diffraction grating with is illuminated with light of wavelength . A very wide viewing screen is behind the grating.
What is the distance between the two bright fringes?
How many bright fringes can be seen on the screen?
shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. The slit spacing is and the wavelength of the light is . What is the distance from the slits to the screen?

3. FIGURE Q33.3 shows the viewing screen in a double-slit experiment. Fringeis the central maximum. What will happen to the fringe spacing if
a. The wavelength of the light is decreased?
b. The spacing between the slits is decreased?
c. The distance to the screen is decreased?
d. Suppose the wavelength of the light islocalid="1649170567955" . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit?
