1. Monochromatic light is incident on twin slits in a Young’s double-slit experiment. The slits are
separated by 0.50 mm. A screen located 6.50 m from the slits has nodal lines separated by 7.7 mm.
Calculate the wavelength of light. What is the frequency of this light? [ 5.9 107 m ]

2. In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the angle that locates the second-order bright fringe is 2.0o.
The slit separation is 0.038 mm. Find the wavelength of the light. [ 6.6 107 m ]

3. Blue light (   482nm ) is directed through parallel slits separated by 0.15 mm. A fringe pattern
appears on a screen 2.0 m away. How far from the central maximum on either side are the second-
order dark bands? [ 9.6 mm ]

4. A beam of light of wavelength 550 nm falls on a screen containing a pair of narrow slits separated by
0.10 mm. Calculate the separation between the two seventh-order maxima on a screen 2.0 m from
the slits. [ 15.4 cm ]

5. A laser emitting at 632.8 nm illuminates a double slit. A screen is positioned 2.0 m from the slits.
Interference fringes are observed with a separation of 1.0 cm.
a) Determine the separation of the slits [ 1.3 104 m ]
b) Determine the angle of the first-order dark fringes [0.14o]

6. Two slits are 0.158 mm apart. A mixture of red light (   665nm ) and yellow-green light (
  565nm ) falls onto the slits. A screen is located 2.2 m away. Find the distance between the
third-order red fringe and the third-order yellow-green fringe. (assume bright spots) [4.2mm]

7. In an interference experiment, red light of wavelength 650 nm illuminates a double slit. If the
screen is 1.1 m away and the distance between the center line and the 5th dark spot is 1.9 cm, find
the slit separation. [0.17mm]

8. A police cruiser sets up a novel radar speed trap, consisting of two transmitting antennas at the
edge of a main north-south road. One antenna is 2.0 m [W] of the other. The antennas, essentially
point sources of continuous radio waves, are fed from a common transmitter with a frequency of
3.0 109 Hz . The trap is set for cars travelling south. A motorist drive a car equipped with a “radar
detector” along an east-west road that crosses the main road at a level intersection 100 m [N] of the
radar trap. The motorist hears a series of beeps upon driving west through the intersection. The
time interval between successive quiet spots is 0.20 s as the car crosses the main road. How fast is
the car moving? [25 m/s]
