In Young's double slit experiment, in an interference pattern, second minimum is observed exactly in front of one slit. The distance between the two coherent sources is ' d ' and the distance between the source and screen is ' D '. The wave length of light ( ) used is
Options
- Ad ^2 D
- Bd ^2 2 D
- Cd ^2 3 D
- Dd ^2 4 D
Correct answer
C. d ^2 3 D
Step-by-step solution
Second minimum is exactly in front of one slit indicates, y ₂= d 2 But y _ n ^ = (2 n -1) D 2 ~d For n =2 d 2 = (2 2-1) D 2 ~d = d ^2 3 D
