Investigators measure the size of fog droplets using the diffraction of light. A camera records the diffraction pattern on a screen as the droplets pass in front of a laser, and a measurement of the size of the central maximum gives the droplet size. In one test, a 690 nm laser creates a pattern on a screen 30 cm from the droplets. |
Part A If the central maximum of the pattern is 0.32 cm in diameter, how large is the droplet? |
Solution,
Diameter of bright central maxima,
= 2 x 1.22 x lambda x D/d = 2.44 lambda x D/d
0.32 = 2.44 x 690 x 10^-7 x 30/d
Solving for diameter 'd'
d = 0.0158 cm

Early investigators (including Thomas Young) measured the thickness of wool fibers using diffraction. One early instrument used a collimated beam of 560 nm light to produce a diffraction pattern on a screen placed 30 cm from a single wool fiber. Part AIf the fiber's diameter was 13 um, what was the width of the central maximum on the screen? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Quality control systems have been developed to remotely measure the diameter of wires using diffraction. A wire with a stated diameter of 170 μmblocks the beam of a 633 nm laser, producing a diffraction pattern on a screen 50.0 cm distant. The width of the central maximum is measured to be 3.77 mm. A) What is the diameter of the wire? a = ___ (value) ___ (units) B) The wire should have a diameter precisely within 1% of the stated...

Diffraction can be used to provide a quick test of the size of red blood cells. Blood is smeared onto a slide, and a laser shines through the slide. The size of the cells is very consistent, so the multiple diffraction patterns overlap and produce an overall pattern that is similar to what a single cell would produce. Ideally, the diameter of a red blood cell should be between 7.5 and 8.0 μm. If a 633 nm laser shines through...
Using a 671 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen that the 15th dark fringe is 9.47 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?
Using a 699 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen that the 11th dark fringe is 8.69 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?
Please use pdf scanner for answer. Please Be neat and clear. Only answer if sure of answer. Thanks! (: Violet light (wavelength 380 nm) falls on a narrow slit that produces a diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 m away. The width of the central maximum is 3.7 mm. a.) How does this width change if the violet light is replaced with a red light (wavelength 690 nm)? b.) What is the width of the slit? c.) What is the...
