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

In Young's double slit experiment, carried out with light of wavelength \(5000\) \(A\), the distance between the slits is \(0.3 \mathrm{~mm}\) and the screen is at \(200 \mathrm{~cm}\) from the slits. The central maximum is at \(x=0 \mathrm{~cm}\). The value of \(\mathrm{x}\) for third maxima is _______ \(\mathrm{mm}\).

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(15\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-7} \times 2}{3 \times 10^{-4}}=\frac{10 \times 10^{-3}}{3} \mathrm{~m}\) For \(3^{\text {rd }}\) maxima \(y_3=3 \beta=10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}=10 \mathrm{~mm}\)
