A triple-slit experiment consists of three narrow slits, equally spaced by distance and illuminated by light of wavelength . Each slit alone produces intensity on the viewing screen at distance.
Consider a point on the distant viewing screen such that the path-length difference between any two adjacent slits is. What is the intensity at this point?
What is the intensity at a point where the path-length difference between any two adjacent slits is?
Light from a sodium lamp illuminates a narrow slit and is observed on a screen behind the slit. The distance between the first and third dark fringes is . What is the width (in ) of the slit?
Two narrow slits apart are illuminated with light of wavelength localid="1649170764860" . What is the angle of thelocalid="1649170756737" bright fringe in radianslocalid="1649170769758" In degreeslocalid="1649170772775"
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?

FIGURE shows the light intensity on a viewing screen behind a single slit of width . The light鈥檚 wavelength is . Is ,, , oris it not possible to tell? Explain.
