Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

The following problem must be solved taking into consideration the modification given below: A student holds a laser that emits light of wavelength 545 nm. The laser beam passes though a pair of slits separated by 0.500 mm, in a glass plate attached to the front of the laser. The beam then falls perpendicularly on a screen, creating an interference pattern on it. The student begins to walk directly toward the screen at 2.00 m/s. The central maximum on the screen is stationary. Find the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen. Do not use small angle approximation.

Also suppose that the screen has a finite lenght (give another numerical value). Besides calculating the speed at which the 5th-order maxima changes its position on the screen also calculate the initial value of bright fringes according to the…
