In an interference experiment, third bright fringe is obtained at a point on the screen with a light of \(700 \mathrm{~nm}\). What should be the wavelength of the light source in order to obtain 5 th bright fringe at the same point?

  1. A \(500 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  2. B \(630 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  3. C \(750 \mathrm{~nm}\)
  4. D \(420 \mathrm{~nm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(420 \mathrm{~nm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n_{1} \lambda_{1}=n_{2} \lambda_{2}\)
\(
\Rightarrow 3 \times 700=5 \times \lambda_{2}
\)
\(
\Rightarrow \lambda_{2}=420 \mathrm{~nm}
\)
