Homework Statement
Homework Equations
(1) Φ = 2π*(dsinθ/λ)
(2) Itotal = I0 cos2(Φ/2)
(3) Itotal = I0 cos2(πdy/λR)
λ = 585 * 10-9 m
R = 0.700 m
d = 0.320 * 10-3 m
y = ?
The Attempt at a Solution
a) I used eqn (1) and divided the total oscillations by a complete oscillation to find the remainder. Which gave 4.59 rad. Which I think is right.
b) However, I am stuck on this question. I don't understand how to find y from not knowing intensity values. Can I work out the total itensity from eqn (2), now that I have the phase angle? Then find y from eqn (3)?
Any help or direction pointing would be appreciated. Somethings not clicking with this sub category of young's double slit.
