In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.2 mm and screen is placed 2.0 m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe is measured to be 1.5 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

  1. A \(4200 Å\)
  2. B \(5000 Å\)
  3. C \(4600 Å\)
  4. D \(6000 Å\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5000 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\lambda = \frac{y_n d}{n D}\) \(\lambda = \frac{(1.5 \times 10^{-2}) (0.2 \times 10^{-3})}{3 \times 2.0}\)
