The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many fringes will be seen when violet light of wavelength 4358 Å is used instead of sodium light of wavelength 5893 Å. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship**: In Young's double slit experiment, the number of fringes (n) observed is related to the wavelength (λ) of the light used. The formula for the number of fringes is given by: \[ n = \frac{D}{\beta} \] where D is the length of the visible region and β is the fringe width. 2. **Fringe Width Calculation**: The fringe width (β) is given by: \[ \beta = \frac{d \cdot \lambda}{D} \] where d is the distance between the slits and D is the distance from the slits to the screen. Since both d and D remain constant when changing the light source, we can relate the number of fringes for two different wavelengths. 3. **Setting Up the Equation**: For two different wavelengths (λ1 for sodium light and λ2 for violet light), we can write: \[ n_1 \cdot \lambda_1 = n_2 \cdot \lambda_2 \] where \( n_1 \) is the number of fringes for sodium light, \( n_2 \) is the number of fringes for violet light, \( \lambda_1 \) is the wavelength of sodium light, and \( \lambda_2 \) is the wavelength of violet light. 4. **Substituting Known Values**: Given: - \( n_1 = 62 \) - \( \lambda_1 = 5893 \, \text{Å} = 5893 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - \( \lambda_2 = 4358 \, \text{Å} = 4358 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) We can rearrange the equation to solve for \( n_2 \): \[ n_2 = n_1 \cdot \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \] 5. **Calculating \( n_2 \)**: Substituting the values: \[ n_2 = 62 \cdot \frac{5893 \times 10^{-10}}{4358 \times 10^{-10}} \] Simplifying: \[ n_2 = 62 \cdot \frac{5893}{4358} \] 6. **Performing the Calculation**: First, calculate \( \frac{5893}{4358} \): \[ \frac{5893}{4358} \approx 1.352 \] Now, multiply by 62: \[ n_2 \approx 62 \cdot 1.352 \approx 84.0 \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the number of fringes seen with violet light will be approximately 84. ### Final Answer: The number of fringes seen with violet light of wavelength 4358 Å is **84**.
