BITSAT Physics Question (2024) — Solution

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

Options

  1. A. 520 nm
  2. B. 639 nm
  3. C. 715 nm
  4. D. None of these

Answer

B. 639 nm

Step-by-step solution

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
