Monochrmoatic light of wavelength 500nm ...

Monochrmoatic light of wavelength `500nm` from a narrow slit is incident on the double slit. If the separation of 10 fringes on the screen 1m away is `1cms`. Find the slit separation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`nbeta=1xx10^(-2)`
`:.beta=(10^(-2))/(n)=(10^(-2))/(10)/(10)=10^(-3)m`
`beta=(lambdaD)/(d)`
`impliesd=(lambdaD)/(beta)=2.5xx10^(-4)m`
