1. They get brighter but otherwise do not change. 2. They get brighter and closer together. 3. They get brighter and farther apart. 4. They get out of focus. 5. They fade out and disappear. Suppose the viewing screen in the figure is moved closer to the double slit. What happens to the interference fringes?

Light of wavelength 1 illuminates a double slit, and interference fringes are observed on a screen behind the slits. When the wavelength is changed to 2, the fringes get closer together. How large is 2 relative to 1 ? 1. 2 is larger than is smaller than Cannot be determined from this information.

White light passes through a diffraction grating and forms rainbow patterns on a screen behind the grating. For each rainbow, 1. the red side is on the right, the violet side on the left. 2. the red side is on the left, the violet side on the right. 3. the red side is closest to the center of the screen, the violet side is farthest from the center. 4. the red side is farthest from the center of the screen, the violet side is closest to the center.

A Michelson interferometer using light of wavelength has been adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Mirror M 1 is then moved distance toward the beam splitter while M 2 is moved distance away from the beam splitter. How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are seen?
