Consider the two-slit interference experiment. Electromagnetic radiation passes through the two slits that are a distance 0.0287 mm apart. The path to the fourth-order bright fringe on the nearby screen forms an angle with the horizontal. What is the wavelength of the light?
Wave Model Interference Quick Check
D. Two bright bands would appear on the screen in line with the slits.
B. Waves that make up the radiation collide with each other so that they add together or cancel each other out.
C. Waves that are in phase constructively interfere to create bright bands.
B. Waves that are out of phase destructively interfere to form dark bands.
D. The spacing between the bright fringes will decrease.
D. 581 nm
