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

Narrow, bright fringes are observed on a screen behind a diffraction grating. The entire experiment is then immersed in water. Do the fringes on the screen get closer together, get farther apart, remain the same, or disappear? Explain.
Light from a helium-neon laser illuminates a circular aperture. It is noted that the diameter of the central maximum on a screen behind the aperture matches the diameter of the geometric image. What is the aperture's diameter (in mm)?
It shows the light intensity on a viewing screen behind a circular aperture. What happens to the width of the central maximum if the
a. The wavelength of the light is increased.
b. The diameter of the aperture is increased.
c. How will the screen appear if the aperture diameter is less than the light wavelength?
