Ultimate Physics Study Guide - Questions & Answers
In a diffraction experiment, a coherent light source illuminates a pair of identical slits in a barrier, and the resulting pattern is projected on a screen that is separated from the barrier by 2.05 m. A student sketches the pattern that appears on the screen. The locations of the centers of the bright and dark fringes are accurate, but the shading is only qualitative. The color chosen may not be an ideal match to the actual light source.
