Consider the width of the central bright fringe, measured between the centers of the dark fringes on both sides of it. Rank from largest to smallest the widths of the central fringe in the following situations and note any cases of equality. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.) (a) The experiment is performed as photographed. (b) The experiment is performed with light whose frequency is increased by 50%.

General Conditions for Interference For sustained interference of light to occur, the following conditions must be met: 1. Coherent sources of light are needed. 2. Amplitudes and intensities must be nearly equal to produce sufficient contrast between maxima and minima. 3. The source must be small enough to produce wide fringes. 4. The interfering sources must be near enough to produce wide fringes. 5. The source and screen must be far enough to produce wide fringes. 6. The source must emit light in the same state of polarization. 7. The source must be monochromatic.arrow_forwardA beam of monochromatic light is incident on a single slit of width 0.630 mm.
