Answer:

a)[tex]\lambda= \frac{2hx}{d}[/tex]

b)[tex]\lambda= \frac{4hx}{d}[/tex]

Explanation:

a)Regular destructive two-slit interference equations apply

therefore, we can write

[tex]dsin\theta = (m+0.5)\lambda[/tex]

[tex]x\frac{h}{d} = m\lambda+0.5\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\frac{hx}{d}=0.5\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda= \frac{2hx}{d}[/tex]

b) Regular constructive two-slit interference equations apply

therefore, we can write

[tex]dsin\theta = m\lambda[/tex]

[tex]2x\frac{h}{d}=0.5\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda= \frac{4hx}{d}[/tex]

a. The maximum wavelength that will interfere destructively is [tex]\lambda=\frac{2hx}{d}[/tex]

b. The maximum wavelength that will interfere constructively is [tex]\lambda=\frac{4hx}{d}[/tex]

Given the following data:

  • Wavelength = [tex]\lambda[/tex]
  • Distance, d = x meters.
  • m = 0

a. To determine the maximum wavelength that will interfere destructively, we would apply an interference experiment formula:

The interference experiment formula.

Mathematically, an interference experiment is given by this formula:

[tex]dsin \theta =m \lambda[/tex]

Where:

  • d is the distance between slits.
  • m is the order of fringe.
  • [tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength.
  • [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between bright fringe.

For a destructive two-slit interference, we have:

[tex]dsin \theta =(m+ \frac{1}{2} ) \lambda[/tex]

Note: From the diagram the value of [tex]sin \theta[/tex] is [tex]\frac{h}{d}[/tex].

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]x\frac{h}{d} =(0+ \frac{1}{2} ) \lambda\\\\x\frac{h}{d} =\frac{1}{2} \lambda\\\\\lambda d = 2hx\\\\\lambda=\frac{2hx}{d}[/tex]

b. To determine the maximum wavelength that will interfere constructively:

[tex]2x\frac{h}{d} =(0+ \frac{1}{2} ) \lambda\\\\2x\frac{h}{d} =\frac{1}{2} \lambda\\\\\lambda d = 2hx\\\\\lambda=\frac{4hx}{d}[/tex]
