White light is passed through a double s...

White light is passed through a double slit and interference pattern is observed on a screen 2.5 m away. The separation between the slits is 0.5 mm. The first violet and red fringes are formed 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm away from the central white fringe. Calculate the wavelengths of the violet and the red light.

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the position of the interference fringes in a double-slit experiment, which is given by: \[ y = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] where: - \( y \) is the distance from the central maximum to the fringe, - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the light, - \( D \) is the distance from the slits to the screen, ...
