g You shine orange laser light that has a wavelength of 600 nm through a narrow slit. The slit forms a diffraction pattern on a distant screen that has been set up behind the slit. The first dark fringe in the diffraction pattern is 4.0 cm from the center point of the pattern. If you replace the orange laser with an unknown laser and observe that the second dark fringe of the diffraction pattern appear at 4.0 cm from the center point, what is the wavelength of the unknown laser

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = [tex]\frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta}[/tex] = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m
