In two setups of Young's double-slit experiment, if lights used have the ratio of wavelengths as 1 : 2 , then fringes of equal width are observed. If the ratio of slit separation is 2 : 1 then the ratio of the distances between slit and screen D 1 : D 2 will be
Options
- A1 : 1
- B1 : 4
- C2 : 1
- D4 : 1
Correct answer
D. 4 : 1
Step-by-step solution
As β = λ D d For equal fringe widths λ 1 D 1 d 1 = λ 2 D 2 d 2 Or D 1 D 2 = d 1 d 2 × λ 2 λ 1 = 2 1 × 2 1 = 4 ∴ D 1 D 2 = 4 1
