Let `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` be the two slits in Young's double-slit experiment. If central maxima is observed at P and angle `/_ S_(1) P S_(2) = theta`, then fringe width for the light of wavelength `lambda` will be

A

`lambda // theta`

B

`lambda theta`

C

`2 lambda // theta`

D

`lambda // 2 theta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`((d//2))/(D) = (theta)/(2) implies theta = (d)/(D)` and `beta = (D lambda)/(d) = (lambda)/(theta)`
