The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the maximum order of fringes that can be seen in a Young's interference experiment with two wavelengths of yellow light, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Wavelength 1, \( \lambda_1 = 5890 \, \text{Å} = 5890 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Wavelength 2, \( \lambda_2 = 5895 \, \text{Å} = 5895 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \) - Distance between the slits, \( d = 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Distance to the screen, \( L = 1 \, \text{m} \) 2. **Understand the condition for overlapping fringes**: - The bright fringe of one wavelength overlaps with the dark fringe of the other wavelength. This occurs when: \[ n \lambda_2 = (n + \frac{1}{2}) \lambda_1 \] 3. **Rearranging the equation**: - Rearranging the above equation gives: \[ n \lambda_2 = n \lambda_1 + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_1 \] - This can be rewritten as: \[ n (\lambda_2 - \lambda_1) = \frac{1}{2} \lambda_1 \] 4. **Substituting the values**: - Calculate \( \lambda_2 - \lambda_1 \): \[ \lambda_2 - \lambda_1 = 5895 \, \text{Å} - 5890 \, \text{Å} = 5 \, \text{Å} = 5 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} \] - Now substitute this into the rearranged equation: \[ n (5 \times 10^{-10}) = \frac{1}{2} (5890 \times 10^{-10}) \] 5. **Solving for \( n \)**: - Simplifying gives: \[ n = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (5890 \times 10^{-10})}{5 \times 10^{-10}} = \frac{5890}{10} = 589 \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The maximum order of fringes that can be seen is \( n = 589 \). ### Final Answer: The maximum order of fringes that can be seen is **589**. ---
