Using monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda \), an experimentalist sets up the Young 's double slit experiment in three ways as shown. If she observes that \(y = \beta '\), the wavelength of light used is.....\(nm\)

  1. A \(520\)
  2. B \(540\)
  3. C \(560\)
  4. D \(580\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(540\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(t=1.8 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{m}\) \(\mu=1.6\) \(\mathrm{n}=2(\text { from figure })\) Applying formula \((\mu-1) \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{n} \lambda\) \((1.6-1) \times 1.8 \times 10^{-6}=2 \lambda\) or, \({\lambda = \frac{{1.8 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times 0.6}}{2}}\)…
