Light from a helium-neon laser is shines on a slit of width


Light from a helium-neon laser is shines on a slit of width 0.02mm. Explain qualitatively the pattern of light seen on a screen 1.0 meter away.

1) How would the pattern be dissimilar if the slit were 0.06mm wide instead of 0.02 mm?

2) How would the pattern be dissimilar if instead of one slit, there were two slits, each 0.02 mm wide, separated by 0.2 mm?

3) How would the pattern in (b) be dissimilar if there were two slits, each 0.02 mm wide, separated by 0.4 mm?

 

4) How does the width of the slits affect the intensity of a two-slit interference pattern?
