In figure, if a parallel beam of white light is incident on the plane of the slit, then the distance of the nearest white spot on the screen form O is [assume `d lt lt D, lambda lt lt D`]

A

0

B

d/2

C

d/3

D

d/6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
White spot will be at the symmetrical point w.r.t. slits its distance from O will be (2d/3)-(d/2)=d/6
