In Young's double slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits.
If the screen is moved by \(5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\) towards the slits, the change in fringe width is \(3 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~m}\). If the separation between the slits is \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}\), the wavelength of light used is

  1. A \(6000 Å\)
  2. B \(5000 Å\)
  3. C \(45000 Å\)
  4. D \(3000 Å\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6000 Å\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\)
\(\Rightarrow \Delta \omega=\frac{\lambda(\Delta D)}{d}\)
\(\therefore \lambda=\frac{(d)(\Delta \omega)}{\Delta D}=\frac{\left(\left(10^{-3}\right)\left(3 \times 10^{-5}\right)\right)}{5 \times 10^{-2}}\)\(=0.6 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}=6000 Å\)
