In a Young's double-slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.56 mm and the screen is placed 2.8 m away from the slits. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

  1. A 600 nm
  2. B 400 nm
  3. C 800 nm
  4. D 700 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 600 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{y_n d}{n L}\) \(\lambda = \frac{(1.2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m})(0.56 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m})}{(4)(2.8 \text{ m})}\) \(\lambda = 6.0 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\) \(\lambda = 600 \text{ nm}\)
