The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given in the Young's double-slit experiment (YDSE) where the fourth bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_1 \) coincides with the sixth bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Bright Fringe Position**: The position of the \( n \)-th bright fringe in YDSE is given by the formula: \[ y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d} \] where: - \( y_n \) is the position of the \( n \)-th bright fringe, - \( n \) is the order of the fringe, - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light used, - \( D \) is the distance from the slits to the screen, - \( d \) is the distance between the slits. 2. **Position of the Fourth Bright Fringe for \( \lambda_1 \)**: For the fourth bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_1 \): \[ y_{4, \lambda_1} = \frac{4 \lambda_1 D}{d} \] 3. **Position of the Sixth Bright Fringe for \( \lambda_2 \)**: For the sixth bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_2 \): \[ y_{6, \lambda_2} = \frac{6 \lambda_2 D}{d} \] 4. **Setting the Positions Equal**: Since the fourth bright fringe of \( \lambda_1 \) coincides with the sixth bright fringe of \( \lambda_2 \), we can set their positions equal: \[ \frac{4 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{6 \lambda_2 D}{d} \] 5. **Cancelling Common Terms**: We can cancel \( D \) and \( d \) from both sides (assuming they are not zero): \[ 4 \lambda_1 = 6 \lambda_2 \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives: \[ 2 \lambda_1 = 3 \lambda_2 \] or \[ 2 \lambda_1 - 3 \lambda_2 = 0 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the relationship between the wavelengths is: \[ 2 \lambda_1 = 3 \lambda_2 \]
