In the young's double slit experiment the fringe width of the interference pattern is found to be \(3.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\), when the light of wave length \(6400^{\circ} \mathrm{A}\) is used. What will be change in fringe width if the light is replaced with a light of wave length \(4800^{\circ} \mathrm{A}\)

  1. A \(1.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(2.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(5.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(0.8 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.8 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The fringe width \(\beta\) in Young's double slit experiment is given by the formula \(\beta = \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}\), where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of light, \(D\) is the distance between the screen and the slits, and \(d\) is the distance between the two slits. Given the…
