In a biprism experiment, the distance of the second dark fringe from the central fringe is 3 mm . The distance of the sixth bright fringe from the central fringe is
Options
- A12 mm
- B8 mm
- C6 mm
- D4 mm
Correct answer
A. 12 mm
Step-by-step solution
The position of the second dark fringe is x_ dark,2 = (2 - 1 2 ) D d = 3 2 D d . Given x_ dark,2 = 3 mm , solve for the fringe width: D d = 3 2 3 = 2 mm . For the sixth bright fringe: x_ bright,6 = 6 2 mm = 12 mm . Final answer: 12 mm
