In Young's double slit experiment, the 10^ th maximum of wavelength ₁ is at a distance of y₁ from the central maximum. When the wavelength of the source is changed to ₂, 5^ th maximum is at a distance of y₂ from its central maximum. The ratio ( y₁ y₂ ) is
Options
- A2 ₁ ₂
- B2 ₂ ₁
- C₁ 2 ₂
- D₂ 2 ₁
Correct answer
B. 2 ₂ ₁
