In Young's double slits experiment, the position of 5th bright fringe from the central maximum is 5cm5cm. The distance between slits and screen is 1m1m and wavelength of used monochromatic light is 600nm600nm. The separation between the slits is:

Options

  1. A60μm60\mu m
  2. B48μm48\mu m
  3. C12μm12\mu m
  4. D36μm36\mu m

Correct answer

A. 60μm60\mu m

Step-by-step solution

Given here,

D=1mD = 1m, λ=600×10−9m\lambda = 600 \times {10}^{- 9}m and n=5n = 5

Distance of nth bright fringe is given by, yn=n\lambdaDd{y}_{n} = \dfrac{n\lambdaD}{d}, where, dd is separation between the slits.

⇒5×600×10−9×1d=5×10−2⇒ \dfrac{5 \times 600 \times {10}^{- 9} \times 1}{d} = 5 \times {10}^{- 2}

⇒d=5×600×10−9×15×10−2=60×10−6m⇒ d = \dfrac{5 \times 600 \times {10}^{- 9} \times 1}{5 \times {10}^{- 2}} = 60 \times {10}^{- 6}m

⇒d=60\mum⇒ d = 60\mum.
