Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light source emits waves with a wavelength of 600 nm through a slit that is 0.3 mm wide. Predict how the diffraction pattern would change if the slit width is decreased to 0.1 mm.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how a narrower slit changes the path and behavior of the waves.

Question 2

Explain why diffraction patterns vary across different wavelengths of light when passed through the same opening.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how wavelength interacts with the physical dimensions of an opening.
