The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness in a Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) using bichromatic light of wavelengths 400 nm and 560 nm. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Wavelengths: \( \lambda_1 = 400 \, \text{nm} = 400 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Wavelengths: \( \lambda_2 = 560 \, \text{nm} = 560 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Distance between the slits: \( d = 0.1 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Distance from the slits to the screen: \( D = 1 \, \text{m} \) 2. **Condition for Dark Fringes:** The condition for dark fringes in YDSE is given by: \[ y_n = \frac{(2n-1) \lambda D}{2d} \] where \( n \) is an integer. 3. **Calculate Dark Fringe Positions for Each Wavelength:** - For \( \lambda_1 = 400 \, \text{nm} \): \[ y_{n1} = \frac{(2n_1 - 1) \cdot 400 \times 10^{-9} \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 0.1 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{(2n_1 - 1) \cdot 400 \times 10^{-9}}{0.2 \times 10^{-3}} = (2n_1 - 1) \cdot 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] - For \( \lambda_2 = 560 \, \text{nm} \): \[ y_{n2} = \frac{(2n_2 - 1) \cdot 560 \times 10^{-9} \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 0.1 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{(2n_2 - 1) \cdot 560 \times 10^{-9}}{0.2 \times 10^{-3}} = (2n_2 - 1) \cdot 2.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \] 4. **Set the Two Equations Equal for Complete Darkness:** For complete darkness, we need \( y_{n1} = y_{n2} \): \[ (2n_1 - 1) \cdot 2 \times 10^{-3} = (2n_2 - 1) \cdot 2.8 \times 10^{-3} \] Simplifying gives: \[ (2n_1 - 1) \cdot 2 = (2n_2 - 1) \cdot 2.8 \] Rearranging leads to: \[ \frac{2n_1 - 1}{2n_2 - 1} = \frac{2.8}{2} = 1.4 \] 5. **Express \( n_1 \) in terms of \( n_2 \):** Let \( 2n_1 - 1 = 1.4(2n_2 - 1) \): \[ 2n_1 - 1 = 2.8n_2 - 1.4 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2n_1 = 2.8n_2 + 0.6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad n_1 = 1.4n_2 + 0.3 \] 6. **Find Integer Solutions:** For \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) to be integers, we can set \( n_2 = k \) where \( k \) is an integer. Then: \[ n_1 = 1.4k + 0.3 \] The smallest integer values satisfying this condition can be found by testing small integers for \( k \). 7. **Calculate Minimum Distance Between Successive Dark Regions:** The minimum distance between successive dark regions is given by: \[ \Delta y = y_{n+1} - y_n \] Using the values of \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) that we find, we can calculate \( \Delta y \). 8. **Final Calculation:** After solving for \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) and substituting back into the equations for \( y_n \), we find that the minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness is: \[ \Delta y = 28 \, \text{mm} \] ### Conclusion: The minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness is \( \boxed{28 \, \text{mm}} \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness in a Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) using bichromatic light of wavelengths 400 nm and 560 nm. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Wavelengths: \( \lambda_1 = 400 \, \text{nm} = 400 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Wavelengths: \( \lambda_2 = 560 \, \text{nm} = 560 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \) - Distance between the slits: \( d = 0.1 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) ...
