In Young's double slit experiment, if the distance between two slits is equal to the wavelength of used light. Then the maximum number of bright fringes obtain on the screen will be __________ .

  1. A infinite
  2. B 3
  3. C 7
  4. D 5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) 3
for bright fringes,
\(
\begin{aligned}
d \quad \sin \theta & =n \lambda \\
\lambda \quad \sin \theta & =n \lambda \quad(\because d=\lambda) \\
\sin \theta & =n \\
\text { but, } \sin \theta & \leq 1 \\
\therefore n & \leq 1
\end{aligned}
\)
Possible values of \(n=-1,0,1\)
Total three bright fringes obtain.
