Homework Statement
A single slit is illuminated with a helium-neon laser whose wavelength is 633 nm. If the slit width is 2.2 x 10 e-5 m, calculate the position of the third maximum in degrees
Homework Equations
Sin Theta(m) = (m + 0.5) Lambda/w
The Attempt at a Solution
Sin Theta(3) = (3 + 0.5)(633 x 10x9)/2.2 x 10^5
=(3.5)(633 x 10 e-9)/2.2 x 10 e-5
=0.1
Theta = 5.8 degrees
The position of the third maximum in degrees is 5.8 degrees.
Could someone verify my answer please?
