In a young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by \(0.28 \mathrm{~mm}\) and the screen is placed \(1.4 \mathrm{~m}\) away from the slits. The distance between the central bright fringe and the 4 th order bright fringe is measured to be \(1.2 \mathrm{~cm}\). The wavelength of light used in this experiment is

  1. A \(2400 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  2. B \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(1200 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D \(800 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(600 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance between the slits, \(d=0.28 \mathrm{~mm}=0.28 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\) Distance between the slits and the screen, \(D=1.4 \mathrm{~m}\) Distance between the central fringe and the fourth \((n=4)\) fringe, \[ u=1.2 \mathrm{~cm}=1.2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} \] In…
