Using Young's double slit experiment, a monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 Å produces fringes of fringe width 0 . 5 mm . If another monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 Å is used and the separation between the slits is doubled, then the new fringe width will be
Options
- A0 . 5   mm
- B1 . 0   mm
- C0 . 6   mm
- D0 . 3   mm
Correct answer
D. 0 . 3   mm
Step-by-step solution
We know that fringe width is given by, β = λ D d ⇒ β ' β = λ ' λ × d d ' = 6000 5000 × d 2 d ⇒ β ' = 6 5 × 2 × 0 . 5 = 0 . 3   mm
