x= width of central maxima
L= distance between screen and slit

(b) the separation between interference maxima or fringe width is given by
x= separation between maxima
= wavelength of light
d= separation between slits
(c) yes, there will be a missing maxima
as we know minima for diffraction is given by
and for interferance the maxima will be given by
so for missing they will overlap

A double slit aperture is illuminated by light of wavelength 530nm and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 5.00m away. The slits are 2.125fim width and are separated by 0.1mm. How far apart are the first and second bright fringes? How far apart are the first and second dark fringes? Determine the slit to screen distance required such that the width of the central peak of the diffraction pattern is 1 m. Why is the calculation from part...
Consider double slit experiment with two slits are separated by d=0.715 mm and each slit width is 0.00321 mm. Screen is placed L=1.28 m away from the slits. a) Derive an algebraic equation to find linear distance of interference bright fringe on the screen from central bright (central maxima) fringe? b) Consider interference pattern due to light of unknown wavelength and linear separation between 2 and 5" bright fringes is 3.05 mm. Find the wavelength of the light? c) Now consider double slit...
A pair of narrow slits is illuminated with light of wavelength λ= 566.1 nm. The resulting interference maxima are found to be separated by 0.90 mm on a screen 1.18 m from the slits. What is the separation of the slits? (mm)
A single slit 1.2 mm wide is illuminated by 420-nm light. Part A What is the width of the central maximum (in cm ) in the diffraction pattern on a screen 7.0 m away? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Two slits separated by a distance of d = 0.175 mm are located at a distance of D = 2.01 m from a screen. The screen is oriented parallel to the plane of the slits. The slits are illuminated by a monochromatic and coherent light source with a wavelength of λ = 604 nm. A wave from each slit propagates to the screen. The interference pattern shows a peak at the center of the screen (m=0) and then alternating minima...
Two narrow slits are 0.12 mm apart. Light of wavelength 550 nm illuminates the slits, causing an interference pattern on a screen 1.0 m away. Light from each slit travels to the m=1 maximum on the right side of the central maximum. How much farther did the light from the left slit travel than the light from the right slit?
Two narrow slits are used to produce a double-slit interference pattern with monochromatic light. The slits are separated by 7 mm, and the interference pattern is projected onto a screen 7 m away from the slits. The central bright fringe is at a certain spot on the screen. Using a ruler with one end placed at the central fringe, you move along the ruler passing by two more bright fringes and find that the next bright fringe is 21.5 mm...
Two narrow slits are 0.12 mm apart. Light of wavelength 550 nm illuminates the slits, causing an interference pattern on a screen 1.0 m away. Light from each slittravels to the m=1 maximum on the right side of the central maximum. How much farther did the light from the left slit travel than the light from the right slit?(answer in nm)
