A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths 800 nm and 600 nm is used to obtain the interference fringes in a Young's double slit experiment on a screen placed 1.4m away. If the two slits are separated by 0.28 mm, calulate the least distance from the central bright maximum where the bright fringes of the two wavelengths coinside.

To prodce inteference fringes in Young' s double slit experiment light consisting of two wavelengths of 6500 Å and 5200 Å is used. (i) Determine the distance of the third maxima from the central maxima for light of wavelength 6500 Å . (ii) At what minimum distance from the central maxima will the bright points (maxima) for two waves superpose? Given that distance between the two slits is 2 mm and the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits is 120 cm.
