JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

In a double slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the plane of slits. If the screen is moved by \(5 \times 10^{-2} \,m\) towards the slits, the change in fringe width is \(3 \times 10^{-3} \,cm\). If the distance between the slits is \(1 \,mm\), then the wavelength of the light will be_______ \(nm\)

  1. A \(500\)
  2. B \(600\)
  3. C \(700\)
  4. D \(900\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\) \(\Delta \beta=\frac{\lambda}{ d } \Delta D\) \(\lambda=\frac{\Delta \beta \cdot d}{\Delta D }\) \(=\frac{3 \times 10^{-5} \times 1 \times 10^{-3}}{5 \times 10^{-2}}\) \(=60 \times 10^{-8}=600 \times 10^{-9} \,m\) \(=600 \,nm\)
