A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (`lambda= 589 nm`) that have an angular separation of `3.50 xx 10^(-3)` rad. For what wavelength would the angular separation be 6.0% greater?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the new wavelength when the angular separation is increased by 6%. We start with the given data and use the relationship between wavelength, angular separation, and slit separation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Relationship**: The angular separation \( \theta \) in a double-slit arrangement is given by the formula: \[ \theta = \frac{\lambda}{d} ...
