Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 568 nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on a screen that is 75.0 cm from the slits. The centers of the slits are 0.640 mm apart and the width of each slit is 0.434 mm. If the intensity at the center of the central maximum is 5.00 x 10-4 W/m2, what is the intensity at a point on the screen that is 0.900 mm from the center of the central maximum?

Step 1: Understand the problem. This is a double-slit interference problem where we need to calculate the intensity at a point on the screen that is 0.900 mm from the center of the central maximum. The given parameters include the wavelength of light (λ = 568 nm), the distance between the slits (d = 0.640 mm), the slit width (a = 0.434 mm), the distance to the screen (L = 75.0 cm), and the intensity at the central maximum (I₀ = 5.00×10⁻⁴ W/m²).
Step 2: Calculate the path difference. The path difference between the light from the two slits at a point on the screen is given by Δx = (d * y) / L, where y is the distance from the central maximum on the screen. Substitute the values: d = 0.640 mm, y = 0.900 mm, and L = 75.0 cm. Ensure all units are consistent (convert mm to meters where necessary).
Step 3: Determine the phase difference. The phase difference (Δϕ) is related to the path difference by the formula Δϕ = (2π / λ) * Δx, where λ is the wavelength of the light. Use the calculated path difference from Step 2 and λ = 568 nm (convert to meters) to find Δϕ.
Step 4: Use the intensity formula for interference. The intensity at a point on the screen is given by I = I₀ * cos²(Δϕ / 2), where I₀ is the intensity at the central maximum and Δϕ is the phase difference. Substitute the values of I₀ and Δϕ to find the intensity at the given point.
Step 5: Account for the single-slit diffraction envelope. The double-slit interference pattern is modulated by the single-slit diffraction envelope. The single-slit diffraction factor is given by sinc²(β), where β = (π * a * y) / (λ * L). Calculate β using the given slit width (a = 0.434 mm), y = 0.900 mm, λ = 568 nm, and L = 75.0 cm. Multiply the interference intensity by sinc²(β) to get the final intensity at the point.

Interference of Light

Interference occurs when two or more coherent light waves overlap, resulting in a new wave pattern. In the context of the double-slit experiment, constructive interference leads to bright fringes, while destructive interference results in dark fringes. The positions of these fringes depend on the wavelength of the light and the geometry of the slits.

Intensity of Light

The intensity of light is defined as the power per unit area, typically measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). In interference patterns, the intensity varies depending on the position relative to the central maximum, influenced by the phase difference between the light waves from the slits. The intensity at any point can be calculated using the formula that incorporates the amplitude of the waves and their interference.

Young's Double-Slit Experiment

Young's double-slit experiment demonstrates the wave nature of light through the creation of an interference pattern. The distance between the slits, the wavelength of the light, and the distance to the screen are critical parameters that determine the spacing and intensity of the interference fringes. This experiment is foundational in understanding wave optics and the behavior of light.
