Solution

The correct answers are:

b. closely spaced spectral lines merge into one another. c. it is harder to determine a precise wavelength for a spectral line.

When the slit of a spectroscope is widened, it allows more light to enter. While this can make the spectrum brighter, it also decreases the resolution of the spectroscope. This means that closely spaced spectral lines may merge into one another, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Additionally, it becomes harder to determine a precise wavelength for a spectral line because

When conducting an interference experiment with monochromatic light ofwavelength 6000 angstroms, it is known that the two slits are 0.5 millimetersapart, and the distance between the slit and the screen is 2 meters. Then, onthe screen where the interference fringes are formed, (1) what is the width ofthe first bright fringe? (2) How far is the third dark line from the central axis? (3)If monochromatic light with a wavelength of 4000 angstroms is used instead,how far is the centerline of the third bright fringe from the central axis?
