Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\dfrac{6}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Young's double slit experiment, the path difference \(\Delta x\) for the \(n\)-th bright fringe is given by \(\Delta x = n\lambda\), where \(n = 0, 1, 2, \dots\). The phase difference \(\phi\) is related to the path difference by \(\phi = \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Delta x\). For…
