Light of wavelength 750 nm passes through a slit 1.0 μm wide and a single-slit diffraction pattern is formed vertically on a screen 34 cm away.
Determine the light intensity I 14 cm above the central maximum,
expressed as a fraction of the central maximum's intensity
I0.
To determine the light intensity at a certain point in a single-slit diffraction pattern, we can use the equation for the intensity of a single-slit diffraction pattern:
I = I0 * (sin(θ) / θ)^2 * (sin(N * π * d / λ) / (N * π * d / λ))^2
where:
I is the intensity at a given point,
I0 is the intensity at the central maximum,
θ is the angle between the central maximum and the point,
N is the number of bright fringes from the central maximum to the point,
d is the width of the slit,
λ is the wavelength of the light.
In this case, we are interested in the intensity 14 cm above the central maximum. Let's calculate the values needed to plug into the equation:
θ = arctan(y / L) where y is the distance above the central maximum (14 cm) and L is the distance between the slit and the screen (34 cm).
N = y * λ / (d * L) where y is the distance above the central maximum (14 cm), λ is the wavelength of the light (750 nm), d is the width of the slit (1.0 μm), and L is the distance between the slit and the screen (34 cm).
Now we can calculate the intensity at the given point using the provided values:
θ = arctan(0.14 m / 0.34 m) ≈ 0.389 N = (0.14 m * 750 nm) / (1.0 μm * 0.34 m) ≈ 3.456
I = I0 * (sin(θ) / θ)^2 * (sin(N * π * d / λ) / (N * π * d / λ))^2
Remember that the fraction of intensity is given by I / I0.
Please note that this calculation assumes the single-slit diffraction pattern is in the far-field (Fraunhofer diffraction) and the screen size is large compared to the pattern.
Substituting the values into the equation, we can determine the intensity at the given point as a fraction of the central maximum's intensity I0.
