The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided in the question regarding the Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in the YDSE apparatus, if \( \frac{d}{\lambda} = 4 \), then the second order maxima will be obtained at \( \theta = 30^\circ \). - Here, \( d \) is the distance between the slits, \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of light, and \( \theta \) is the angle at which the maxima occur. 2. **Using the Condition for Maxima**: - The condition for maxima in YDSE is given by the formula: \[ d \sin \theta = n \lambda \] - For the second order maxima, \( n = 2 \). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ d \sin \theta = 2 \lambda \] 3. **Substituting the Given Ratio**: - We are given that \( \frac{d}{\lambda} = 4 \). This implies: \[ d = 4 \lambda \] - Substituting this into the maxima condition gives: \[ 4 \lambda \sin \theta = 2 \lambda \] - Dividing both sides by \( \lambda \) (assuming \( \lambda \neq 0 \)): \[ 4 \sin \theta = 2 \] - Simplifying this yields: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \] 4. **Finding the Angle**: - The angle \( \theta \) for which \( \sin \theta = \frac{1}{2} \) is: \[ \theta = 30^\circ \] - Thus, the assertion is true. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that a total of seven maxima will be obtained on the screen. - To find the maximum order of fringes, we use the condition: \[ n_{\text{max}} = \frac{d}{\lambda} \] - Given \( \frac{d}{\lambda} = 4 \), the maximum order \( n_{\text{max}} \) is 4. 6. **Counting the Maxima**: - The maxima occur at both positive and negative angles. Therefore, for \( n = 1, 2, 3, 4 \) (positive) and \( n = -1, -2, -3, -4 \) (negative), we have: - Positive maxima: 4 (from \( n = 1 \) to \( n = 4 \)) - Negative maxima: 4 (from \( n = -1 \) to \( n = -4 \)) - The central maximum (at \( n = 0 \)) is also counted. - Thus, the total number of maxima is \( 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 \). 7. **Conclusion**: - The reason is incorrect as it states there are 7 maxima, while there are actually 9 maxima. - Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. The correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
