Paper Problem Set 8 due Tuesday 3 May 05

1. Patterns with Real Double Slits
    

Sketch the pattern (I/Im versus angle theta) seen when 500 nm light is shown onto two slits spaced (center-to-center) by 60 µm and having width 20 µm.

(a) First determine where the zeros of the slingle slit pattern would occur; mark these on the graph.

(b) Between the first and second zero, the intensity is about 4% of the peak intensity; mark these points.

(c) Sketch (lightly) the single slit envelope.

(d) Determine the locations of the double slit maxima and mark them.

(e) Sketch the overall pattern from 0 to +3 degrees.

NOTE: hard copy has "graph paper" supplied here.
