In a Young's double slit experiment the separation between the slits is 0.10 mm, the wavelength of light used is 600 nm and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.0 m away. Find the separation between the successive bright fringes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

the separation between the successive bright frings is
`2=(Dlamda)/d=(1.0mxx600x10^-9m)/(0.10xx10^-3m)`
`=6.0xx10^-3m=6.0mm`
