In biprism experiment, if \(5^{\text {th }}\) bright band with wavelength \({ }^{\prime} \lambda_{1}{ }^{\prime}\) coincides with \(6^{\text {th }}\) dark band with wavelength \(^{\prime} \lambda_{2}\) ' then the ratio \(\left(\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}\right)\) is

  1. A \(\frac{10}{11}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{9}\)
  3. C \(\frac{11}{10}\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{10}{11}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y_{5}=\frac{5 \lambda_{1} D}{d}\)
\(y_{6}^{\prime}=\frac{11 \lambda_{2} D}{2 d}\)
\(5 \lambda_{1}=\frac{11 \lambda_{2}}{2}\)
\(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{11}{10}\)
\(\therefore \frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}}=\frac{10}{11}\)
