In a Young's double slit experiment \(15\) fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength \(500 \;\mathrm{nm}\) is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength \(\lambda\) is used. Then the value of \(\lambda\) is (in \(\mathrm{nm})\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(750\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The length of the screen used portion for \(15\) fringes, and also for ten fringes

\(15 \times 500 \times \frac{D}{\lambda}=10 \times \frac{\lambda D}{\lambda}\)

\(15 \times 50=\lambda\)

\(\lambda=750 \mathrm{nm}\)
