A beam of light consists of two wavelengths, `6300Å and 5600Å`. This beam of light is used to obtain an interference pattern in YDSE. If `4^("th")` bright fringe of `6300Å` coincides with the `n^("th")` dark fringe of `5600Å` from the central line, then find the value of n.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the 4th bright fringe of the wavelength \( 6300 \, \text{Å} \) coincides with the \( n \)-th dark fringe of the wavelength \( 5600 \, \text{Å} \) in a Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fringe Positions**: - The position of the \( m \)-th bright fringe for a wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ y_b = \frac{m \lambda D}{d} \] - The position of the \( n \)-th dark fringe for a wavelength \( \lambda \) is given by: \[ y_d = \frac{(n + \frac{1}{2}) \lambda D}{d} \] 2. **Setting Up the Equation**: - According to the problem, the 4th bright fringe of \( 6300 \, \text{Å} \) coincides with the \( n \)-th dark fringe of \( 5600 \, \text{Å} \). - Therefore, we can set the two equations equal to each other: \[ \frac{4 \cdot 6300 \cdot D}{d} = \frac{(n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \cdot D}{d} \] 3. **Canceling Common Terms**: - Since \( D \) and \( d \) are common in both terms, we can cancel them out: \[ 4 \cdot 6300 = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \] 4. **Calculating the Left Side**: - Calculate \( 4 \cdot 6300 \): \[ 4 \cdot 6300 = 25200 \] 5. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Now we have: \[ 25200 = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \cdot 5600 \] 6. **Solving for \( n \)**: - Divide both sides by \( 5600 \): \[ \frac{25200}{5600} = n + \frac{1}{2} \] - Calculate \( \frac{25200}{5600} \): \[ \frac{25200}{5600} = 4.5 \] - Therefore: \[ 4.5 = n + \frac{1}{2} \] - Subtract \( \frac{1}{2} \) from both sides: \[ n = 4.5 - 0.5 = 4 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( n \) is \( 4 \).
