Question 27

A student sets up a double-slit experiment to determine the slit separation of a slide. They use a green laser of wavelength 532 nm532\text{ nm}532 nm and place the screen at a distance of 1.80 m from the slits. Using a traveling microscope, they measure the distance from the centre of the 2nd bright fringe to the centre of the 10th bright fringe on the same side of the central maximum to be 1.52 cm.

What is the slit separation?

4.41×10−4 m4.41 \times 10^{-4}\text{ m}4.41×10−4 m

5.04×10−4 m5.04 \times 10^{-4}\text{ m}5.04×10−4 m
