Question
In YDSE, monochromatic light falls on a screen 1.80 m from two slits separated by 2.08 mm . The first and second order bright fringes are separated by 0.553 mm . The wavelength of light used is
In YDSE, monochromatic light falls on a screen 1.80 m from two slits separated by 2.08 mm . The first and second order bright fringes are separated by 0.553 mm . The wavelength of light used is
B. 639 nm
Position of first bright fringe, y_1= D d Position of second bright fringe, aligned y_2 & = 2 D d \\ y_2-y_1 & = 2 D d - D d \\ y_2-y_1 & = D d \\ or & = (y_2-y_1 ) d D aligned Substituting given values, we have aligned & = 0.553 10^ -3 2.08 10^ -3 1.8 \\ & =639 10^ -9 ~m \\ or & =639 ~nm aligned
