A Young's double slit experiment is performed using a light source that emits two wavelengths, and . The lowest order of the bright fringe of the light that perfectly coincides with a bright fringe of the light on the screen is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
For the bright fringes of two different wavelengths to coincide on the screen, their distance from the central maximum must be equal.
The position of the bright fringe is given by .
Equating the positions for the two wavelengths:
Let and .
The lowest integer values satisfying this ratio are and .
Therefore, the bright fringe of the light coincides with the bright fringe of the light.
