Question:

A two-slit experiment with slits separated by 48.0 × 10-5 m produces a second-order maximum at an angle of 0.0990°.

(a) Find the wavelength of the light used in this experiment.

(b) If the slit separation is increased but the second-order maximum stays at the same angle, does the wavelength increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

(c) Calculate the wavelength for a slit separation of 68.0 × 10-5 m.
