In the figure shown, if a parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits, then the distance of the nearest white spot on the screen from O is [assume `d ltltD, lambda ltltd`]

A

0

B

`d // 2`

C

`d // 3`

D

`d // 6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The nearest white spot will be at P, the central maxima.
`y = (2d)/(3) - (d)/(2) = (d)/(6)`

In figure, parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits of a Young's double-slit experiment. Light incident on the slit S_(1) passes through a medium of variable refractive index mu = 1 + ax (where 'x' is the distance from the plane of slits as shown), up to distance 'I' before falling on S_(1) . Rest of the space is filled with air. If at 'O' a minima is formed. then the minimum value of the positive constant a (in terms of l and wavelength lambda in air) is
