Question: 4 . ( 2 5 points ) In the Young's double slit experiment monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance (

4.(25 points) In the Young's double slit experiment monochromatic light passes through two slits separated by a distance \( d=0.5\mathrm{~mm}\), and the interference pattern is observed on a distant screen \( R=5\mathrm{~m}\) away from the two slits.
(a)(5 points) If the distance between the two consecutive maxima on the screen is 0.7 cm , what is the wavelength of light? What is the distance between two consecutive minima?
(b)(5 points) Make a careful plot of the intensity of light on the screen as a function
of distance y from the central maximum, showing at least 5 maxima (including the
central one m=0). Label each maximum and minimum and indicate the path
difference and the phase difference for each maximum and minimum in your plot.
(c)(10 points) When one of the slits is covered by a transparent film with a refractive
index of n=1.5, the zeroth order maximum is observed to be shifted by 2.2 fringes.
How thick is the film?
(d)(5 points) The two slits are now illuminated by light containing two wavelengths,
450 nm and 600 nm . What is the least order m at which a maximum of one wave-
length will fall exactly on a minimum of the other?
