The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given in the Young's double-slit experiment. The problem states that the 8th bright band from light of wavelength \( \lambda_1 \) coincides with the 9th bright band from light of wavelength \( \lambda_2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition for Bright Bands**: The position of the bright bands in a double-slit experiment is given by the formula: \[ x = m \lambda \] where \( m \) is the order of the bright band and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light. 2. **Setting Up the Equations**: For the 8th bright band of wavelength \( \lambda_1 \): \[ x_1 = 8 \lambda_1 \] For the 9th bright band of wavelength \( \lambda_2 \): \[ x_2 = 9 \lambda_2 \] 3. **Equating the Positions**: Since the two bands coincide, we can set the two equations equal to each other: \[ 8 \lambda_1 = 9 \lambda_2 \] 4. **Finding the Ratio of Wavelengths**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{9}{8} \] 5. **Identifying Possible Wavelengths**: We need to find values for \( \lambda_1 \) and \( \lambda_2 \) that satisfy this ratio. We will check the provided options to see which pair fits this ratio. 6. **Checking the Options**: - **Option A**: \( \lambda_1 = 400 \, \text{nm}, \lambda_2 = 450 \, \text{nm} \) \[ \frac{400}{450} = \frac{8}{9} \quad (\text{Not } \frac{9}{8}) \] - **Option B**: \( \lambda_1 = 425 \, \text{nm}, \lambda_2 = 400 \, \text{nm} \) \[ \frac{425}{400} = \frac{17}{16} \quad (\text{Not } \frac{9}{8}) \] - **Option C**: \( \lambda_1 = 400 \, \text{nm}, \lambda_2 = 425 \, \text{nm} \) \[ \frac{400}{425} = \frac{16}{17} \quad (\text{Not } \frac{9}{8}) \] - **Option D**: \( \lambda_1 = 450 \, \text{nm}, \lambda_2 = 400 \, \text{nm} \) \[ \frac{450}{400} = \frac{9}{8} \quad (\text{Matches } \frac{9}{8}) \] 7. **Conclusion**: The only option that satisfies the condition \( \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{9}{8} \) is Option D. Therefore, the possible wavelengths of visible light are: \[ \lambda_1 = 450 \, \text{nm}, \quad \lambda_2 = 400 \, \text{nm} \] ### Final Answer: The possible wavelengths of visible light are \( 450 \, \text{nm} \) and \( 400 \, \text{nm} \).
