In a Young’s double slit experiment with slit separation \(0.1\, mm\), one observes a bright fringe at angle \(\frac{1}{{40}}\, rad\) by using light of wavelength \({\lambda _1}\). When the light of wavelength \(\lambda _2\) is used a bright fringe is seen at the same angle in the same set up. Given that \({\lambda _1}\) and \({\lambda _2}\) are in visible range (\(380\, nm\) to \(740\, nm\)), their values are
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(625\, nm, 500\, nm\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For maxima,
\(\operatorname{dsin} \theta=n \lambda\)
\(\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{n}}\) ( \(\because \,\sin \theta \approx \theta \) when \(\theta\) is small )
\(=\frac{2500}{n}\, n m\)
Take \(n=4,5\) for \(\lambda=625\, \mathrm{nm}\) and \(500 \,\mathrm{nm}\)
