A monochromatic light of wavelength \(800 \mathrm{~nm}\) is incident normally on a single slit of width \(0.020 \mathrm{~mm}\) to produce a diffraction pattern on a screen placed \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) away. Estimate the number of fringes obtained in Young's double slit experiment with slit separation \(0.20 \mathrm{~mm}\), which can be accommodated within the range of total angular spread of the central maximum due to single slit.
- A 20
- B 30
- C 25
- D 15
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 20
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is given by \(\theta = \dfrac{2\lambda}{a}\), where \(\lambda = 800 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}\) and \(a = 0.020 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\). Substituting the values,…
