In Young's double slit experiment, the slits are 22 mm apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths λ1=12000Å{λ}_{1} = 12000 Å and λ2=10000Å{λ}_{2} = 10000 Å. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen 2m2m from the slit will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?

Options

  1. A88 mm
  2. B66 mm
  3. C44 mm
  4. D33 mm

Correct answer

B. 66 mm

Step-by-step solution

Given, λ1=12000Å{λ}_{1} = 12000 Å

and~λ2=10000Å{λ}_{2} = 10000 Å

D=2cmD = 2cm

d=2mm=2×10−3md = 2mm = 2 \times {10}^{- 3}m

We have,~

λ1λ2=n2n1=1200010000=65\dfrac{\lambda1}{\lambda2} = \dfrac{n2}{n1} = \dfrac{12000}{10000} = \dfrac{6}{5}

as X=n1λ1DdX = \dfrac{{n}_{1}{λ}_{1}D}{d}~ & \left({n}_{1} = 5\right)</p><p></p><p>= \dfrac{5 \times 12000 \times {10}^{- 10} \times 2}{2 \times {10}^{- 3}}</p><p></p><p>= 5 \times 1 . 2 \times {10}^{4} \times {10}^{- 10} \times {10}^{3} = 6mm$
