Question

Below is an image from a double slit experiment obtained by shining a laser through one. I used a He-Ne Laser, wavelength = 632.8 nm, and shined through two slits whose separation distance is d = 0.250 mm. The light was shined upon a sheet of paper taped to the wall and was 10.0 ft 4.00 inches away from the double slit. I circled the bright spots (constructive interference) and identified the central maximum (m = 0). I saved the lab data as a pdf file with a 1:1 ratio. I was able to identify seven bright fringes on either side of the central maximum. Let ym measure the distance from the central maximum to the mth constructive interference. For positive m, let ym be positive, and for negative order (negative m), let ym be negative. The geometry of the double slit experiment is shown below ym, m e 아 m=0 For constructive interference, the path difference between the two waves that pass through the slits must be an integer multiple of the light's wavelength. For the mth order of constructive interference, we have path difference 8 = d sin 0 = m. Since L >>d, we can use the small angle approximation that the sine of the angle is approximately equal to the tangent of the angle. Consequently, we can rewrite the equation as d sin 6 = d tan 8 = d m = mi We will use the provided data to determine the experimental value of the wavelength of the laser used. To accomplish this, we will measure the distance ym from the middle of the center (m = 0) maximum to the middle of the mth constructive interference maximum and record this measurement. Remember for positive m, the value yn is positive and for negative m, the value of ym is negative.
