    Consider a beam of electrons in a vacuum, passing through a very narrow slit of width 2.00μm. The electrons then head toward an array of detectors a distance 1.015 m away. These detectors indicate a diffraction pattern, with a broad maximum of electron intensity (i.e., the number of electrons received in a certain area over a certain period of time) with minima of electron intensity on either side, spaced 0.515 cm from the center of the pattern. What is the...

    The table on the last page presents data on intensity as a function of for the familiar two-slit experiment. The width of each slit is 4.0 µm, which is not necessarily small compared to the wavelength of light. Some of the data points were lost due to a printer error. a. Find the distance between the centers of the two slits in µm . b. Find the wavelength of light in µm. c. Are there any intensity minima in the...

    The single-slit diffraction pattern shown in the Figure was produced with red light of wavelength lambda = 633 nm. The screen on which the pattern was projected was located a distance D = 2.0m from the slit. The slit has a width of a = 0.30mm. What is the width w of the central maximum? (The width is equal to the distance between the two first diffraction minima located on either side of the center.)
