You told me those were the rules for no phase change.
This is really stressing me out now and I'd like some more guidance please I've got 4 different answers 😭
I'm still confused on how to get from the path difference to the wavelength. This was never taught to me and I need to solve this problem
Thanks for your help so far
Does Maxima mean the highest positive amplitude and minimal mean the lowest possible negative amplitude? Or is mimina 0 amplitude (in which case a lowest possible negative ampltude would be a Maxima too?)
I genuinely don't know what to do with the path difference because it's not of the form n lambda and this has confused me so much. Could I just get someone to give me a worked solution please
If we use the idea that the difference in distance between a maximum and minimum is ##\frac{\lambda}{4}##, then we have ##2\sqrt{0.5^2 + (0.119)^2} - 2\sqrt{0.5^2+0.084^2}## ##= \frac{\lambda}{4}## which solving gives ##\lambda = 0.056m##. If we work out the difference in distance between two...
I have found the path difference for the first max but how do I know if this is lambda or not? I am unsure because when I divide the path difference of the minima by this path difference (which should be the wavelength as the first one is 1 lambda), I expect to get a number in the form n + 1/2...
