Answer:
a
[tex]\theta = 0.0022 rad[/tex]
b
[tex]I = 0.000304 I_o[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength of the light is [tex]\lambda = 550 \ nm = 550 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the slit separation is [tex]d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
Generally the condition for two slit interference is
[tex]dsin \theta = m \lambda[/tex]
Where m is the order which is given from the question as m = 2
=> [tex]\theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ][/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\theta = 0.0022 rad[/tex]
Now on the second question
The distance of separation of the slit is
[tex]d = 0.300 \ mm = 3.0 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
The intensity at the the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]I = I_o [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2[/tex]
Where [tex]\beta[/tex] is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\beta = \frac{\pi * d * sin(\theta )}{\lambda }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\beta = \frac{3.142 * 3*10^{-4} * sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }[/tex]
[tex]\beta = 0.06581[/tex]
So the intensity is
[tex]I = I_o [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2[/tex]
[tex]I = 0.000304 I_o[/tex]
