Calculate the wavelength of light used in an interference...

Calculate the wavelength of light used in an interference experiment from the following data: Fringe width =0.03cm=0.03 \mathrm{ cm}. Distance between the slits and eyepiece through which the interference pattern is observed is 1m1 \mathrm{ m}. Distance between the images of the virtual source when a convex lens of focal length 16cm16 \mathrm{ cm} is used at a distance of 80cm80 \mathrm{ cm} from the eyepiece is 0.8cm0.8 \mathrm{ cm}.

  4. D6000A~…6000 Ã…

Correct answer

D. 6000A~…6000 Ã…

Step-by-step solution

Given: fringe with β=0.03cm,D=1m=100cm\beta=0.03 \mathrm{ cm}, \mathrm{D}=1 \mathrm{ m}=100\mathrm{cm} Distance between images of the source =0.8cm.=0.8 \mathrm{ cm} . Image distance v=80cmv=80 \mathrm{ cm} Object distance =u=u Using mirror formula, \begin{array}{l} \qquad \begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{16}\\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{u}=20 \mathrm{ cm} \end{array}\\\text{ Magnification, } \mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}=\frac{80}{20}=4 \\ \text{ Magnification }  distances between images of slits  distance between slits =0.8d=0.8d=4⇒d=0.2cm\begin{aligned} {\text{ distances between images of slits }}{\text{ distance between slits }}\\ =\frac{0.8}{\mathrm{ d}}=\frac{0.8}{\mathrm{ d}}=4 \Rightarrow \mathrm{d}=0.2 \mathrm{ cm} \end{aligned}\\\text{ Fringe width } \beta=\frac{\mathrm{D} \lambda}{\mathrm{d}} \end{array}or,or,\beta=\frac{100 \lambda}{0.2}=0.03 \times 10^{-2}Therefore,wavelengthoflightusedTherefore, wavelength of light used\lambda=6000Ã…$
