Textbook Question
Chapter 11.2, Problem 2cT
Suppose that the width of one of the slits were decreased (without changing the distance between the centers of the slits). How, if at all, would this modification affect how much the water surface would move at the points you marked above? Explain your reasoning. (Hint: How can you use your observations from part A of section 1 in this case?)
Thus far we have observed the behavior of water waves when they pass through narrow slits.
Below we investigate the behavior of light passing through two very narrow slits.

Use your knowledge of and experience with waves and to answer the following and show your work.
What is the frequency in Hertz (Hz) of a signal that repeats 80,000 times in a minute?
What is the period of the wave in part (a)?
Now suppose you have a composite signal (composed of many frequencies). If the frequencies range from 50 Hz to 600 Hz, what is the (analog) bandwidth?
In a double-slit experiment red light of wavelength λ = 650 nm is shone through two slits separated by a
distance d. The second-order dark spot (second dark spot from the center) on the screen (which is much further
from the slits than the slit separation d) occurs at an angle of 0.250°.
What is the slit separation, d, in mm? Show your work.
b) 10
What wavelength of visible light, when shone through the same slits, will yield a

Answers must be expressed in engineering notation (when the exponent of the base 10 multiplier is not a
multiple of 3, press ENG or SHIFT+ENG, whichever the case.)
Example: 0.06N or 6.0x10-2 N must be expressed to 60x10-³ N or 60mN
