In a Young's double slit experiment, fringes are observed in a given segment of the screen when light of wavelength is used. When this light is replaced by another monochromatic source, the number of fringes in the same segment of the screen increases by . The wavelength of the new light source is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The length of the segment on the screen remains constant. The total width of fringes is given by .
Since , , and are constant, , which gives .
The initial number of fringes is and the initial wavelength is .
The number of fringes increases by , so the new number of fringes is .
Substituting these values into the relation:
.
