Monochromatic light with wavelength 588 nm is incident on a slit with width 0.0351 mm. The distance from the slit to a screen is 2.7 m. Consider a point on the screen 1.3 cm from the central maximum. Calculate (a) θ for that point, (b) α, and (c) the ratio of the intensity at that point to the intensity at the central maximum.

Explanation:

Given that

Wavelength of the light, λ = 588 nm

Distance from the slit to the screen, L = 2.7 m

Width of the slit, a = 0.0351 mm

a point on the screen, y = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

Sinθ = y/L

Sinθ = 0.013/2.7

sinθ = 0.0081

θ = sin^-1 0.00481

θ = 0.276°

α = (π.a.sinθ)/λ

α = (3.142 * 3.51*10^-5 * sin 0.276) / 588*10^-9

α = 5.3*10^-7 / 588*10^-9

α = 0.9 rad

I/i(m) = ((sinα)/α)²

I/I(m) = ((sin 0.9) / 0.9)²

I/I(m) = (0.783/0.9)²

I/I(m) = 0.87²

I/I(m) = 0.756

Note, our calculator has to be set in Rad instead of degree for part C, to get the answer

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.

hope this : d

i had the same answer and put c. deflect randomly in multiple directions.   i looked it up on google and what i found was this;

scattering of light: by small particles and molecules in the atmosphere. different from reflection, where radiation is deflected in one direction, some particles and molecules found in the atmosphere have the ability to scatter solar radiation in all directions.

i know it's kinda annoying when you are just given a google article but this is why i think it is c.   i will try to let you know if i got it right.
