    Read: 24.1, 24.3, 25.4 and do 1 – 5. Read 27.4 and do 6 – 9. Due Monday, November 17th.
    1) A double slit is placed 4.5 m away from a screen. The
    distance between the third order dark fringe and the central 6) An electron, in the first excited state of a hydrogen atom,
    bright fringe is 0.037 m. The light that is incident on the acquires an additional 2.86 eV of energy. What is the
    slits has a wavelength of 490 nm. Calculate the slit quantum number “n” of the state into which the electron
    separation. moves?

    2) Light of wavelength 475 nm that is incident on a double slit 7) In the line spectrum of a hydrogen atom there is another

    series. (c) In what part of the EM spectrum do these lines
    exist?
    3)660 nm light illuminates a single slit. The angle locating
    the first order dark fringe is 0.10°. Calculate the width of
