A monochromatic light falls on two narrow slits that are 4.50 um apart. The third destructive fringes which are 35° apart were formed at a screen 2m from the light source. The light source is 0.30 m from the slits. () Calculate Ym. (4 marks) Compute the wavelength of the light. (4 marks)​

 y = 1.19 m  and λ = 8.6036 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

This is a slit interference problem, the expression for destructive interference is

          d sin θ = m λ

indicate that for the angle of θ = 35º it is in the third order m = 3 and the separation of the slits is d = 4.50 10⁻⁶ m

          λ = d sin  θ / m

let's calculate

          λ = 4.50 10⁻⁶ sin 35  /3

          λ = 8.6036 10⁻⁷ m

for the separation distance from the central stripe, we use trigonometry

         tan θ= y / L

         y = L tan θ

the distance L is measured from the slits, it indicates that the light source is at x = 0.30 m from the slits

         L = 2 -0.30

         L = 1.70 m

let's calculate

        y = 1.70 tan 35

        y = 1.19 m

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
