Explain why the two loudspeakers producing sounds of slightly different frequencies will not produce stable effects of interference.

Look at the experimental arrangement shown in Figure. Suppose that the microwave pro be is placed at a point of low intensity in the interference pattern.

Suggest what will happen if one of the gaps in the barrier is now blocked.

Draw sketches of displacement against time to illustrate the following:

(a) Two waves having the same amplitude and in phase with one another

Draw sketches of displacement against time to illustrate the following:

(b) Two waves having the same amplitude and with a phase difference of $90°$.

Draw sketches of displacement against time to illustrate the following:

(c) Two waves initially in phase but with slightly different wavelengths.

Consider points $\mathrm{D}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ on the screen in Figure, where $\mathrm{BC}=\mathrm{CD}=\mathrm{DE}$. State and explain what you would expect to observe at $\mathrm{D}$ and $\mathrm{E}$.

The type of interference, and hence whether a bright or a dark fringe is seen on the screen, depends on the path difference between the rays of light arriving at the screen from the double-slit.

In a double-slit experiment using light from a helium– neon laser, a student obtained the following results:

Width of $10$ Fringes $10\mathrm{x} = 1.5 \mathrm{cm}$ Separation of slits $\mathrm{a} = 1.0 \mathrm{mm}$ Slit-to-screen distance $\mathrm{D} = 2.40 \mathrm{m}$ Determine the wavelength of the light. And 

If The student moved the screen to a distance of $4.8 \mathrm{m}$ From the slits. Determine the fringe separation $\mathrm{x}$ Now.

Use the equation $\lambda =\frac{ax}{D}$ to explain the following observations:

(a) With the slits closer together, the fringes are further apart.

Use the equation $\lambda =\frac{ax}{D}$ to explain the following observations:

(b) Interference fringes for blue light are closer together than for red light.
