A light source, which emits two wavelengths λ1=400 nm and λ2=600 nm , is used in a Young's double slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for λ1 and λ2 are β1 and β2 and the number of fringes for them within a distance y on one side of the central maximum are m1 and m2 , respectively, then

  1. A β2>β1
  2. B m1>m2
  3. C From the central maximum, 3rd maximum of λ2 overlaps with 5th minimum of λ1
  4. D The angular separation of fringes for λ1 is greater than λ2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) β2>β1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

β=Dλd
λ2>λ1β2>β1
Also m1β1=m2β2m1>m2
Also 3Dd600 nm=2×5-1D2d400 nm
Angular width θ=λd
