Two light waves of wavelengths 800800 and 600nm600nm are used in Young's double slit experiment to obtain interference fringes on a screen placed 7m7m away from plane of slits. If the two slits are separated by 0.35mm0 . 35mm, then shortest distance from the central bright maximum to the point where the bright fringes of the two wavelength coincide will be ______ mmmm.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Fringe width for both cases can be written as.ω1=λ1Dd and  ω2=λ2Dd{\omega}_{1} = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{1}D}{d} \text{\text{ and } } {\omega}_{2} = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{2}D}{d}.

Using values of wavelength, we get ω1=16mm and  ω2=12mm{\omega}_{1} = 16mm \text{\text{ and } } {\omega}_{2} = 12mm.

Let y be the common distance of the bright fringes by the both wavelength, then

y=n1ω1=n2ω2y = {n}_{1}{\omega}_{1} = {n}_{2}{\omega}_{2}.

As LCM \left({\omega}_{1}, {\omega}_{2}\right) = 48mm,thereforeat, therefore aty = 48mm distance both bright fringes will be found.
