In Young's double slit experiment, monochromatic light of wavelength 5000A∘5000\overset{∘}{A} is used. The slits are 1.0mm1 . 0mm apart and screen is placed at 1.0m1 . 0m away from slits. The distance from the centre of the screen where intensity becomes half of the maximum intensity for the first time is ______×10−6m.\times {10}^{- 6}m .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let intensity of light on screen due to each slit is I0{I}_{0}.

So internity at centre of screen is 4I04{I}_{0}(as cosϕ=1cosϕ = 1). 

Intensity at distance yy from centre, 

I=I0+I0+2I0I0cosϕI = {I}_{0} + {I}_{0} + 2\sqrt{{I}_{0}{I}_{0}}cosϕ

As we know, {I}_\max = 4{I}_{0}. Therefore,

⇒ \dfrac{{I}_\max}{2} = 2{I}_{0} = 2{I}_{0} + 2{I}_{0}cosϕ

⇒cosϕ=0⇒ cosϕ = 0

⇒ϕ=π2⇒ ϕ = \dfrac{\pi}{2}

Hence, k\Deltax=π2k\Deltax = \dfrac{\pi}{2}

⇒2πλ(dsinθ)=π2⇒ \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\left(dsin\theta\right) = \dfrac{\pi}{2}

⇒2λd×yD=12⇒ \dfrac{2}{\lambda}d \times \dfrac{y}{D} = \dfrac{1}{2}

⇒y=\lambdaD4d=5×10−7×14×10−3⇒ y = \dfrac{\lambdaD}{4d} = \dfrac{5 \times {10}^{- 7} \times 1}{4 \times {10}^{- 3}}

=125×10−6= 125 \times {10}^{- 6}

=125= 125
