Diffraction and Interference Combined. Consider the interference pattern produced by two parallel slits of width a and separation d, in which d = 3a. The slits are illuminated by normally incident light of wavelength λ. (a) First we ignore diffraction effects due to the slit width. At what angles θ from the central maximum will the next four maxima in the two-slit interference pattern occur? Your answer will be in terms of d and λ. (b) Now we include the effects of diffraction. If the intensity at θ = 0o is I0, what is the intensity at each of the angles in part (a)? (c) Which double-slit interference maxima are missing in the pattern? (d) Compare your results to those illustrated in Fig. 36.12c. In what ways are your results different?
