In Young's double slit experiment, slits are illuminated by light of wavelength 650 nm. The slits are 0.13 cm apart and the screen is placed 1.2 m away. What will be the separation of the adjacent maxima?

  1. A 0.0006 mm
  2. B 0.006 mm
  3. C 0.06 mm
  4. D 0.6 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.6 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \Delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \) \( \Delta x = \frac{(650 \times 10^{-9} \text{ m})(1.2 \text{ m})}{0.13 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}} = 6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m} \) \( \Delta x = 6 \times 10^{-4} \times 10^3 \text{ mm} = 0.6 \text{ mm} \)
