In a Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the two identical slits is \(6.1\) times larger than the slit width. Then the number of intensity maxima observed with in the central maximum of the single slit diffraction pattern is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(12\)
  4. D \(24\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In diffraction, angular width of central maxima is \(\frac{2 \lambda}{b}\) where \(b\) is slit width. In Young's double slit experiment, angular width of each fringe is \(\frac{\lambda}{d}\) where \(d\) is the distance between the two slits. Given: \(d=6.1 b\) So, number of…
