Question

Manufacturers of wire and other objects of small dimension sometimes use a laser to continually monitor the thickness of the product The wire intercepts the laser beam producing a diffraction pattern like that of a single slit of the same width as the wire diameter Fig 36 37 Suppose a helium neon laser of wavelength 632 8nm illuminates a wire and the diffraction pattern appears on a screen at distance L 2 60m If the desired wire diameter is 1 37mm what is the observed distance between the two tenth order minima one on each side of the central maximum Wire He Ne laser Figure 36 37 Problem 10 Wire making machine
