The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of bright bands formed at a point on the screen in Young's double slit experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the given values**: - Wavelength of light, \( \lambda = 6000 \, \text{Å} = 6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Path difference, \( \Delta x = 6 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m} \) 2. **Use the formula for path difference**: The path difference for bright fringes in Young's double slit experiment is given by: \[ \Delta x = n \lambda \] where \( n \) is the order of the bright fringe. 3. **Rearrange the formula to find \( n \)**: We can rearrange the formula to solve for \( n \): \[ n = \frac{\Delta x}{\lambda} \] 4. **Substitute the known values**: Substitute the values of \( \Delta x \) and \( \lambda \) into the equation: \[ n = \frac{6 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}}{6000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m}} \] 5. **Calculate \( n \)**: - First, simplify the denominator: \[ 6000 \times 10^{-10} = 6 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] - Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ n = \frac{6 \times 10^{-6}}{6 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{6}{6} \times \frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-7}} = 1 \times 10^{1} = 10 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The number of bright bands formed at that point is \( n = 10 \). ### Final Answer: The number of the bright band formed at that point is **10**. ---
