Question 1

What equation defines the location of bright fringes?

  • Δx = nλ
  • Δx = (n + 1/2)λ
  • Δx = λ/n
  • Δx = 2nλ

💡 Hint: Recall how constructive interference is defined.

Question 2

True or False: Dark fringes appear where constructive interference occurs.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the patterns created by wave interactions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a double-slit experiment, if the wavelength used is 550 nm and the distance between the slits is 0.5 mm, calculate the position of the fourth dark fringe observed on a screen 1.5 meters away.

💡 Hint: Consider how far the pattern spreads when light reaches the screen.

Question 2

A coherent light source produces 50 fringes in a 2 m path. Find the wavelength used if the slit distance is 0.4 mm.

💡 Hint: Use the known values to solve step-by-step.
