An ideal double slit interference experiment is performed with light of wavelength 640 nm. A bright spot is observed at the center of the resulting pattern as expected. For the 2n dark spot away from the center, it is known that light passing through the more distant slit travels the closer slit.
a) 480 nm
b) 600 nm
c) 720 nm
d) 840 nm
e) 960 nm

Answer:

960 nm

Explanation:

Given that:

wavelength = 640 nm

For the second (2nd) dark spot;  the order of interference m = 1

Thus, the path length difference is expressed by the formula:

[tex]d sin \theta = (m + \dfrac{1}{2}) \lambda[/tex]

[tex]d sin \theta = (1 + \dfrac{1}{2}) 640[/tex]

[tex]d sin \theta = ( \dfrac{3}{2}) 640[/tex]

dsinθ = 960 nm
