The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the principles of Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) to find the wavelength of light used. ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Distance between the slits, \( d = 0.5 \, \text{mm} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Distance from the slits to the screen, \( D = 1.0 \, \text{m} \) - Distance between the 9th bright fringe and the 2nd dark fringe, \( y = 8.835 \, \text{mm} = 8.835 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Formulate the position of the bright and dark fringes The position of the \( n \)-th bright fringe is given by: \[ y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d} \] For the 9th bright fringe (\( n = 9 \)): \[ y_9 = \frac{9 \lambda D}{d} \] The position of the \( m \)-th dark fringe is given by: \[ y_m = \frac{(m - 0.5) \lambda D}{d} \] For the 2nd dark fringe (\( m = 2 \)): \[ y_2 = \frac{(2 - 0.5) \lambda D}{d} = \frac{1.5 \lambda D}{d} \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation We know that the distance between the 9th bright fringe and the 2nd dark fringe is given by: \[ y_9 - y_2 = y \] Substituting the expressions for \( y_9 \) and \( y_2 \): \[ \frac{9 \lambda D}{d} - \frac{1.5 \lambda D}{d} = 8.835 \times 10^{-3} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Combine the terms: \[ \frac{(9 - 1.5) \lambda D}{d} = 8.835 \times 10^{-3} \] \[ \frac{7.5 \lambda D}{d} = 8.835 \times 10^{-3} \] ### Step 5: Solve for the wavelength \( \lambda \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{8.835 \times 10^{-3} \cdot d}{7.5 \cdot D} \] Substituting the values of \( d \) and \( D \): \[ \lambda = \frac{8.835 \times 10^{-3} \cdot (0.5 \times 10^{-3})}{7.5 \cdot 1} \] \[ \lambda = \frac{8.835 \times 0.5 \times 10^{-6}}{7.5} \] \[ \lambda = \frac{4.4175 \times 10^{-6}}{7.5} \] \[ \lambda = 0.589 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 6: Convert to Angstroms To convert meters to Angstroms: \[ \lambda = 0.589 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} = 5890 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer The wavelength of light used is \( 5890 \, \text{Å} \). ---
