The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is \( 2.4 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \), when red light of wavelength 6400 \( \text{\AA} \) is used. The decrease in the fringe width, if light of wavelength 4000 \( \text{\AA} \) is used instead of red light, will be:

  1. A \( 0.9 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \)
  2. B \( 9 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \)
  3. C \( 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \)
  4. D \( 2 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 0.9 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta_2 = \beta_1 \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\) \(\beta_2 = 2.4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m} \times \frac{4000 \text{ Å}}{6400 \text{ Å}} = 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}\) \(\text{Decrease} = \beta_1 - \beta_2\)…
