Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The condition for the \(n^{\text{th}}\) bright fringe of red light to coincide with the \((n+1)^{\text{th}}\) bright fringe of violet light is given by the path difference equality: \(n \lambda_{R} = (n+1) \lambda_{V}\) Given \(\lambda_{R} = 6300 \text{ \AA}\) and…
