Concept explainers
The four graphs from part C that show relative intensity occurs angle for two slits are given below. In each case.
• Clearly label (1) the interference minima that arc closest go the center of the pattern and (2) the diffraction minima that are closet to the center of the pattern.
• Sketch the graph of relative intensity that would result if one of the slits were covered.
For each of the four cases, is your relative intensity graph consistent with the minima that you identified? If not, resolve any inconsistencies.
