The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of fringes formed on the screen in Young's double slit experiment given the parameters. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Distance between the slits, \( d = \frac{d}{3} \) - Distance from the slits to the screen, \( D = 3D \) - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 3\lambda \) - Length of the section on the screen, \( L = \frac{1}{3} \) m 2. **Calculate the Fringe Width (\( \beta \)):** The fringe width in Young's experiment is given by the formula: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] Substituting the values: \[ \beta = \frac{3\lambda \cdot 3D}{\frac{d}{3}} = \frac{9\lambda D}{\frac{d}{3}} = \frac{27\lambda D}{d} \] 3. **Calculate the Number of Fringes (\( N \)):** The number of fringes that fit into a given length \( L \) on the screen is given by: \[ N = \frac{L}{\beta} \] Substituting \( L = \frac{1}{3} \) m and \( \beta = \frac{27\lambda D}{d} \): \[ N = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{27\lambda D}{d}} = \frac{d}{81\lambda D} \] 4. **Final Expression for the Number of Fringes:** Thus, the number of fringes formed on the screen is: \[ N = \frac{d}{81\lambda D} \] ### Conclusion: The number of fringes in \( \frac{1}{3} \) metre on the screen is \( \frac{d}{81\lambda D} \).
