Answer:
The wavelength of the laser, λ = 5.625 * 10⁻⁷ m
Explanation:
Separation of the narrow slits, d = 7.5 * 10⁻⁵ m
The distance between the screen and the two slits, d = 4m
The distance between the bright spot and the center of the pattern, Y = 1.5 cm
Y = 1.5 * 10⁻² m
To calculate the wavelength, λ, of the laser we will use the relationship:
[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{2d} \\1.5 * 10^{-2} = \frac{\lambda * 4}{2*7.5*10^{-5} }\\\lambda = \frac{1.5 * 10^{-2} * 15 * 10^{-5} }{4}[/tex]
λ = 5.625 * 10⁻⁷ m
