In a double-slit experiment, the third-order maximum for light of wavelength 510 nm is located 17 mm from the central bright spot on a screen 1.6 m from the slits. Light of wavelength 670 nm is then projected through the same slits. Part A How far from the central bright spot will the second-order maximum of this light be located

14.9 mm

Explanation:

We know dsinθ = mλ where d = separating of slit, m = order of maximum = 3 and λ = wavelength = 510nm = 510 × 10⁻⁹ m

Also tanθ = L/D where L = distance of m order fringe from central bright spot = 17 mm = 0.017 m and D = distance of screen from slit = 1.6 m

So, sinθ = mλ/d

Since θ is small, sinθ ≅ tanθ

So,

mλ/d = L/D

d = mλD/L

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

d = 3 × 510 × 10⁻⁹ m × 1.6 m/0.017 m

d = 2448 × 10⁻⁹ m²/0.017 m

d = 144000 × 10⁻⁹ m

d = 1.44 × 10⁻⁴ m

d = 0.144 × 10⁻³ m

d = 0.144 mm

Now, for the second-order maximum, m' of the 670 nm wavelength of light,

m'λ'/d = L'/D where m' = order of maximum = 2, λ' = wavelength of light = 670 nm = 670 × 10⁻⁹ m, d = slit separation = 0.144 mm = 0.144 × 10⁻³ m, L' = distance of second order maximum from central bright spot and D = distance of screen from slit = 1.6m

So, L' = m'λ'D/d

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L' = 2 × 670 × 10⁻⁹ m × 1.6 m/0.144 × 10⁻³ m

L' = 2144  × 10⁻⁹ m²/0.144 × 10⁻³ m

L' = 14888.89 × 10⁻⁶ m

L' = 0.01488 m

L' ≅ 0.0149 m

L' = 14.9 mm

1= 26.17

2= 1.17

3=30.86

4=5.86

answer:   you might love summer weather, but you don’t want it to feel like the sun is inside your car. but a hot car that just won’t seem to cool down might be a bigger of a problem than you think. your car relies on being at the right temperature.
