In a Young's double-slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.28 mm and the screen is placed 1.4m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm . Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`d=0.28mm=0.28 xx 10^(-3)m, D=1.4m, beta=1.2 xx 10^(-2)m, n=4`
Since, `beta=D/d nlambda Rightarrow lambda=beta/n .d/D Rightarrow lambda =(1.2xx10^(-2)xx2.8 xx 10^(-2))/(4xx1.4)m Rightarrow lambda=600xx10^(-9)m`

In a Young's double slit experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.5 cm and the screen is at 0.5 m from the slits. If 20000 bright fringes are counted per meter on the screen, then the wavelength of light used is

In an experiment, light passing through two slits separated by a distance of 0.3 mm is projected on to a screen placed at 1 m from the plane of slits. It is observed that the distance between the central fringe and the adjacent bright fringe is 1.9 mm. The wavelength of light in nm is

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is used in a Young's double slit experiment. The slits are separated by a distance d and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. If the incident beam makes an angle theta = sin^(-1)((lambda)/(2d)) with the normal to the plane of the slits, there will be .....at the centre P_(0) of the pattern.
