In young's double slit experiment, the n ^ th maximum of wavelength ₁ is at a distance of y₁ from the central maximum. When the wavelength of the source is changed to ₂, ( n 3 )^ th maximum is at a distance of y₂ from its central maximum. The ratio y₁ y₂ is
Options
- A3 ₁ ₂
- B3 ₂ ₁
- C₁ 3 ₂
- D₂ 3 ₁
Correct answer
A. 3 ₁ ₂
Step-by-step solution
y _ n = n D ~d For n ^ th maximum y ₁= n ₁ D ~d ...(i) For ( n 3 )^ rd maximum y₂= n 3 ₂ D ~d ...(ii) y₁ y₂ = n ₁ D d n 3 ₂ D d [ From ( i ) and (ii) ] y ₁ y ₂ = 3 ₁ ₂
