Textbook QuestionShow that the angular full width at half maximum of the central peak in a double-slit interference pattern is given by ∆θ = λ/2d if λ ≪ d.84views
Textbook Question(III) (a) Consider three equally spaced and equal-intensity coherent sources of light (such as adding a third slit to the two slits of Fig. 34–12). Use the phasor method to obtain the intensity as a function of the phase difference δ (Eq. 34–4). (b) Determine the positions of maxima and minima.<IMAGE>115views
