A Michelson interferometer is adjusted so that a bright fringe appears on the screen. As one of the mirrors is moved 29.7 µm, 97 bright fringes are counted on the screen. What is the wavelength of the light used in the interferometer?

Ultraviolet light of wavelength is incident on a diffraction grating with slit spacing and forms an interference pattern on a screen a distance away. The angular positions of the interference maxima are large. The locations of the bright fringes are marked on the screen. Now red light of wavelength is used with a diffraction grating to form another diffraction pattern on the screen. Will the bright fringes of this pattern be located at the marks on the screen if (a) the screen is moved to a distance from the grating, (b) the screen is moved to a distance from the grating, (c) the grating is replaced with one of slit spacing , (d) the grating is replaced with one slit spacing , or (e) nothing is changed?  

The central bright fringe in a single slit diffraction pattern fromlight of wavelength 406 nm is 2.2 cm wide on a screen that is 1.05m from the slit.
(a) How wide is the slit?
........ mm

(b) How wide are the first two bright fringes on either side of thecentral bright fringe? (Define the width of a bright fringe as thelinear distance from minimum to minimum.)
........ cm

In a young's double-slit experiment with microwaves of wavelength 3.00 cm, the distance between the slits is 5.00 cm and the distance between the slits and the screen is 100.0 cm.

(a) What is the number of bright fringes possible?

(b) What are the distances of these bright fringes from the central bright fringe.
