Check Your Understanding Suppose the slit width in Example 4.1 is increased to
The angualr position for the
Answer to Problem 4.1CYU
Angular spread for
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Light wavelength,
Order of minimum,
Angular spread
Unit conversion,
Formula used:
Formula for angular separation for minimum condition,
Here D indicates the slit width,
Calculation:
Reduce
Hence, the original slit thickness is
Reduce
Hence, the angular spread at
According to question slit width is increased to a value of
Reduce
Hence, the angular spread at
Reduce
Hence, the angular spread at
Reduce
Hence, the angular spread at
Reduce
As the inverse sine angle cannot be more than 1, thus
Conclusion:
Angular spread for
