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

In Young's double slit arrangement, slits are separated by a gap of \(0.5\, mm ,\) and the screen is placed at a distance of \(0.5\, m\) from them. The distance between the first and the third bright fringe formed when the slits are illuminated by a monochromatic light of \(5890\, A^o\) is

  1. A \(1178 \times 10^{-9} \,m\)
  2. B \(1178 \times 10^{-6}\,m\)
  3. C \(1178 \times 10^{-12} \,m\)
  4. D \(5890 \times 10^{-7} \,m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1178 \times 10^{-6}\,m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}=\frac{5890 \times 10^{-10} \times 0.5}{0.5 \times 10^{-3}}\) \(=589 \times 10^{-6} m\) Distance between first and third bright fringe is \(2 \beta=2 \times 589 \times 10^{-6} m\) \(=1178 \times 10^{-6} m\)
