2010-04-01 23:04:36 | Recall also that as the wavelength becomes small compared to the slit, the spread of the fringes will become smaller. If you remember that the separation is linear in  then you can deduce answer (B) which is half of the original separation. Just another way of looking at it without remembering the exact diffraction equations. |  |

2008-11-03 19:35:02 | i can't really tell if this is the same solution as what's been posted. so here goes: constructive interference for double slit is given by  . then i made a small angle approximation (really for fun, just assuming that it could be done, and since we have no info about angles) so we get  . then remembering that  where R is the distance from the slits to the screen, and  is a height on the screen from y=0 where maximum interference peak is. then solving for solving for theta, and setting the equations equal to one another we get  . then we know that if frequency gets doubled the wavelength should be halved and then the distances  on the screen will also be halved.

I did this way too.

2008-09-28 10:28:17 | This is not a single slit interference problem, it is a double slit problem - and d is the distance between the very narrow slits, not the width of a slit. The interference maxima equation is however correct ( but for the DOUBLE slit problem). | |
