x = D
a . Therefore x a , so decreasing a gives
increased x.
b Blue light has shorter wavelength, so x is less
(xis proportional to).
c For larger D, x is greater, so there is a smaller
percentage uncertainty in x (xis proportional
toD).

a increases, so the maxima are more spread
out and there may be fewer of them. (Note:
sin .)
b d decreases, so again increases, the
maxima are more spread out and there may
be fewer of them. (Note: sin 1/d.)

a By calculation, use = ax
D so fringe separation

= 3.33106m.
By calculation, rearrange dsin = n so

a For red light, rearrange dsin = n so
9
170010 = 0.350, so
sin = n
6
d =
2.0010
red=20.5
For violet light, rearrange dsin = n so
9
140010 = 0.200, so
sin = n
6
d =
2.0010
violet=11.5
Therefore angular separation
= 20.511.5 = 9.0.
b The third-order maximum for violet light is
deflected through a smaller angle than the
second-order maximum for red light.
