In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 cm, the distance between the screen and the slits is 1 m. If the wavelength of light used in the experiment is \(5000 Å\), then the distance between two consecutive dark fringes on the screen is

  1. A 0.25 mm
  2. B 0.26 mm
  3. C 0.27 mm
  4. D 0.28 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.25 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\) \(\beta = \frac{(5000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}) \times (1 \text{ m})}{(0.2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m})}\) \(\beta = 0.25 \text{ mm}\)
