Question:

A fellow student, who values memorizing equations above understanding them, combines Eqs. (35.4) and (35.13) to €œprove€ that Ï• can only equal 2Ï€m. How would you explain to this student that Ï• can have values other than 2Ï€m?


Eq.35.4

Distance between slits Wavelength dsine = ma* (m = 0, ±1, ±2, ...) Angle of line from slits to mth bright region on sc


Eq.35.13

2пd $ = k(2 – n) = kd sin0 %3D sin0
