Calculate the distance between the centers of `4^(th) and 7^(th)` bright fringes in an interference pattern produced in young's slit experiment. Give separation between the slits `=1.1xx10^(-3)`, wavelength of light used `=589.3 nm`, and distance of the screen from the double slit `=1.3m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `d=1.1x10^(-3) m , lambda=589.3xx10^(-9) m , D=1.3m`
We know that distance of the `n^(th)` bright fringe from the central fringe `=x=(n lambda D)/(d)`.
Hence distance between `7^(th)` and `4^(th)` bright fringes will be
`Delta x=x_7=x_4=(lambda D)/(d)(7-4)`
`=(3xx589.3xx10^(-9)xx1.3m)/(1.1xx10^(-3))`
`Delta x=2.089xx10^(-3) m `

A beam of light consisting of two wave lengths 4200 Å and 5600 Å is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment. The distance between the slits is 0.3 mm and the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.5 m. Compute the least distance of the point from the central maximum, where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide.
