The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a thin film with a refractive index (µ) of 1.6 and a thickness (T) of 0.01 micrometers (µm). The introduction of this film causes the central fringe in a Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) to move to the position of the 10th bright fringe. ### Step 2: Convert Thickness to Meters Convert the thickness from micrometers to meters: \[ T = 0.01 \, \mu m = 0.01 \times 10^{-6} \, m = 1 \times 10^{-8} \, m \] ### Step 3: Use the Path Difference Formula The path difference introduced by the thin film is given by: \[ \Delta y = (µ - 1) \cdot T \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta y = (1.6 - 1) \cdot (1 \times 10^{-8}) = 0.6 \cdot (1 \times 10^{-8}) = 6 \times 10^{-9} \, m \] ### Step 4: Relate Path Difference to Fringe Movement The movement of the central fringe to the position of the 10th bright fringe corresponds to a path difference of: \[ \Delta y = 10 \cdot \lambda \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Equation Equating the two expressions for path difference: \[ 6 \times 10^{-9} = 10 \cdot \lambda \] ### Step 6: Solve for Wavelength (λ) Rearranging the equation to find λ: \[ \lambda = \frac{6 \times 10^{-9}}{10} = 6 \times 10^{-10} \, m \] ### Step 7: Convert Wavelength to Angstroms Since 1 Angstrom (Å) = \(10^{-10}\) m, we convert the wavelength: \[ \lambda = 6 \times 10^{-10} \, m = 6 \, \text{Å} \] ### Step 8: Conclusion The wavelength of the wave is: \[ \lambda = 6 \, \text{Å} \] ### Final Answer The correct option is **6 Å**. ---
