When monochromatic light of wavelength 600 nm is used in Young's double slit experiment, the fifth order bright fringe is formed at 6 mm from the central bright fringe on the screen. If the experiment is conducted with light of wavelength 400 nm from the central bright fringe, the third order bright fringe will be located at

  1. A 1.6 mm
  2. B 2 mm
  3. C 2.4 mm
  4. D 3 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.4 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Young's double slit experiment, fringe width is given by β=λDd. Therefore, fringe width is proportional to the wavelength of the light used. Now fringe width in the first case is β1=65=1.2 mm. Therefore,…
