The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the conditions under which the bright fringes of two different wavelengths coincide in a double slit arrangement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Wavelengths**: We are given two wavelengths: - \( \lambda_1 = 4500 \, \text{Å} \) - \( \lambda_2 = 6000 \, \text{Å} \) 2. **Understand the Condition for Bright Fringes**: The condition for bright fringes in a double slit experiment is given by the formula: \[ d \sin \theta = m \lambda \] where \( d \) is the distance between the slits, \( \theta \) is the angle of the fringe, \( m \) is the order of the fringe, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength. 3. **Set Up the Equation for Coinciding Bright Fringes**: For the \( p \)-th bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_1 \) and the \( q \)-th bright fringe of wavelength \( \lambda_2 \), we can write: \[ p \lambda_1 = q \lambda_2 \] 4. **Express the Ratio of Orders**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ \frac{p}{q} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} \] 5. **Substitute the Values**: Substitute the values of \( \lambda_1 \) and \( \lambda_2 \): \[ \frac{p}{q} = \frac{6000 \, \text{Å}}{4500 \, \text{Å}} = \frac{6000}{4500} = \frac{4}{3} \] 6. **Cross Multiply to Find Orders**: From the ratio \( \frac{p}{q} = \frac{4}{3} \), we can express it as: \[ 3p = 4q \] This means that for every 4th order bright fringe of \( \lambda_2 \), there is a corresponding 3rd order bright fringe of \( \lambda_1 \). 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the 4th order bright fringe of \( \lambda_1 \) coincides with the 3rd order bright fringe of \( \lambda_2 \). ### Final Answer: The third order bright fringe of \( \lambda_2 \) will coincide with the fourth order bright fringe of \( \lambda_1 \).
