A beam of white light, containing wavelengths from 400 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red), is directed at a pair of narrow slits 0.002 mm apart. Sketch and label the patterns (i.e., locations and colors) of light which will be seen on a large wall behind the slits. Show any calculations that you use to justify your sketch.
On the diagram below, mark the locations of all minima and principal maxima for the specific case of
three identical slits separated by a distance d=2.41. Label each minimum and principal maximum with
the corresponding value of
FADadj and 0.

The goal of this exercise is to construct the best rectangular prism containers by a
company.
1. The first container they construct will be used to ship baseballs. It will have
a width of x ft, a length of (x + 6) ft and a height of (x- 2) ft. Its volume will
be 455 ft 3. Write a function V for the volume of the container. Then find
one possible width for the container. Explain.
2. Are there any other possible widths for the container? Explain.
