1 If electromagnetic radiation acted like particles in the double-slit experiment, what would be observed?

a The screen would remain dark because no radiation would reach the screen.
b One bright band would appear in the center of the screen.
c A series of light and dark bands would appear on the screen.
d Two bright bands would appear on the screen in line with the slits.

2 Which statement about the interference behavior of electromagnetic radiation seen in the double-slit test experiment is true?

a Waves that make up the radiation collide with each other so that they add together or cancel each other out.
b Particles that make up the radiation collide with each other and scatter randomly.
c Particles that make up the radiation collide with each other so that they add together or cancel each other out.
d Waves that make up the radiation do not interact with each other.

3 Which statement about the observed results of the double-slit experiment is true?

a Waves that are out of phase constructively interfere to create bright bands.
b Waves that are in phase destructively interfere to create bright bands.
c Waves that are out of phase constructively interfere to create bright bands.
d Waves that are in phase constructively interfere to create bright bands.

4 Which statement about the observed results of the double-slit experiment is true?

a Waves that are in phase constructively interfere to form dark bands.
b Waves that are out of phase constructively interfere to form dark bands.
c Waves that are in phase destructively interfere to form dark bands.
d Waves that are out of phase destructively interfere to form dark bands.

5 A scientist decreases the wavelength of the light used in a double-slit experiment and keeps every other aspect the same. What will be true about the new interference pattern seen on the screen compared to the original interference pattern?

a The spacing between the dark fringes will increase.
b The spacing between the bright fringes will increase.
c The spacing between the bright fringes will decrease.
d The spacing between the dark fringes will remain the same.

6 Consider the two-slit interference experiment. Electromagnetic radiation passes through the two slits that are a distance of 0.0170 nm apart. A fourth-order bright fringe forms at an angle of 8.0 degrees relative to the incident beam. What is the wavelength of the light?

a 789 nm
b 420 nm
c 581 nm
d 591 nm
