A beam of light consists of two wavelengths, `6300Å and 5600Å`. This beam of light is used to obtain an interference pattern in YDSE. If `4^("th")` bright fringe of `6300Å` coincides with the `n^("th")` dark fringe of `5600Å` from the central line, then find the value of n.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the interference pattern created by two wavelengths of light in Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). We are given two wavelengths: - \( \lambda_1 = 6300 \, \text{Å} \) (or \( 6300 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \)) - \( \lambda_2 = 5600 \, \text{Å} \) (or \( 5600 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \)) We know that the \( m^{th} \) bright fringe position for a wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ y_m = \frac{m \lambda D}{d} \] where \( D \) is the distance from the slits to the screen and \( d \) is the distance between the slits. For dark fringes, the position is given by: \[ y_n = \frac{(n + \frac{1}{2}) \lambda D}{d} \] where \( n \) is the order of the dark fringe. According to the problem, the \( 4^{th} \) bright fringe of \( 6300 \, \text{Å} \) coincides with the \( n^{th} \) dark fringe of \( 5600 \, \text{Å} \). ### Step 1: Write the equation for the \( 4^{th} \) bright fringe of \( 6300 \, \text{Å} \) Using the formula for bright fringes: \[ y_4 = \frac{4 \cdot 6300 \times 10^{-10} \cdot D}{d} \] ### Step 2: Write the equation for the \( n^{th} \) dark fringe of \( 5600 \, \text{Å} \) Using the formula for dark fringes: \[ y_n = \frac{(n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \times 10^{-10} \cdot D}{d} \] ### Step 3: Set the two equations equal to each other Since the two positions coincide: \[ \frac{4 \cdot 6300 \times 10^{-10} \cdot D}{d} = \frac{(n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \times 10^{-10} \cdot D}{d} \] ### Step 4: Cancel \( D \) and \( d \) from both sides \[ 4 \cdot 6300 \times 10^{-10} = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \times 10^{-10} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Cancelling \( 10^{-10} \) from both sides: \[ 4 \cdot 6300 = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( 4 \cdot 6300 \) \[ 25200 = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \] ### Step 7: Divide both sides by \( 5600 \) \[ \frac{25200}{5600} = n + \frac{1}{2} \] \[ 4.5 = n + \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( n \) \[ n = 4.5 - 0.5 = 4 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( n \) is \( 4 \). Therefore, the \( 4^{th} \) dark fringe of \( 5600 \, \text{Å} \) coincides with the \( 4^{th} \) bright fringe of \( 6300 \, \text{Å} \).
