SECTION 1 - DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT
click the right arrow to start
1 of 14
What variable is the distance between the slits?
a
2 of 14
What variable is y?
the distance between a maximum and the 0th order maximum
3 of 14
What variable is the normal distance between the double-slit and the screen?
D (not d1 or d2)
4 of 14
Give the equation for wavelength in terms of a, y, and D (double slit)
λ = ay/D
5 of 14
SECTION 2 - DIFFRACTION GRATING
hi :)
6 of 14
What variable is the width of each grating slit?
d (not D or d1)
7 of 14
Give the equation for wavelength in terms of n, y, and sinθ where n is the order maximum
λ = (d sinθ) / n
8 of 14
Give the equation for distance between grating and screen (D) in terms of θ and y
D = y / tanθ
9 of 14
SECTION 3 - Refractive indexes
hi again!
10 of 14
What is the equation for Snell's law?
n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2
11 of 14
State the equation for refractive index
n = c/v (v is speed of light in medium)
12 of 14
What is the equation for critical angle?
sinθ = n2 / n1 where θ is the critical angle
13 of 14
TIR can only occur with light moving from a medium with a _______ refractive index to one with a ______ RI
higher, lower
