calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 605 nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.105 mm.

Sagot :

The angle for third order maximum is [tex]0.481^{\circ}[/tex] .

Given that, wavelength of yellow light is 605-nm. Distance between the slits on which the light is falling is 0.105 mm.

The angle for the the third order maximum can be calculated by the formula given below.

[tex]m \lambda=2 d \sin \theta[/tex]

where, λ  is the wavelength of light,  is the distance between the slits and  is the order of diffraction.

For the third order,[tex]m=3[/tex].

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get the angle for the third order maximum.

[tex]\begin{aligned}& 3 \times 605 \times 10^{-9}=2 \times 0.105 \times 10^{-3} \times \sin \theta \\& \sin \theta=\frac{3 \times 605 \times 10^{-9}}{2 \times 0.105 \times 10^{-3}}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Simplifying the above equation as,

[tex]\begin{aligned}& \sin \theta=0.0084 \\& \theta=\sin ^{-1}(0.0084) \\& \theta=0.481^{\circ}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, the angle for third order maximum is [tex]0.481^{\circ}[/tex].
