FIGURE Q33.1 shows light waves passing through two closely spaced, narrow slits. The graph shows the intensity of light on a screen behind the slits. Reproduce these graph axes, including the zero and the tick marks locating the double-slit fringes, then draw a graph to show how the light-intensity pattern will appear if the right slit is blocked, allowing light to go through only the left slit. Explain your reasoning.

FIGURE Q33.5 shows the light intensity on a viewing screen behind a single slit of width a The light's wavelength is. Is, or is it not possible to tell? Explain

Light from a helium-neon laser passes through a circular aperture and is observed on a screen behind the aperture. The width of the central maximum is. What is the diameter (in mm) of the hole?
In a double-slit interference experiment, which of the following actions (perhaps more than one) would cause the fringe spacing to increase? (a) Increasing the wavelength of the light. (b) Increasing the slit spacing. (c) Increasing the distance to the viewing screen. (d) Submerging the entire experiment in water.
