The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for fringe width in the Young's double slit experiment: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] Where: - \(\beta\) is the fringe width, - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of light, - \(D\) is the distance between the slits and the screen, - \(d\) is the separation between the slits. Given: - Wavelength, \(\lambda = 4 \times 10^{-7} \, m\) - Separation between the slits, \(d = 0.1 \, mm = 0.1 \times 10^{-3} \, m = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, m\) - Fringe width, \(\beta = 4 \, mm = 4 \times 10^{-3} \, m\) We need to find \(D\). ### Step 1: Rearrange the formula to solve for \(D\) From the formula for fringe width, we can rearrange it to find \(D\): \[ D = \frac{\beta d}{\lambda} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the known values into the equation Now we will substitute the known values into the rearranged formula: \[ D = \frac{(4 \times 10^{-3} \, m)(1 \times 10^{-4} \, m)}{4 \times 10^{-7} \, m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the numerator First, calculate the numerator: \[ 4 \times 10^{-3} \, m \times 1 \times 10^{-4} \, m = 4 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2 \] ### Step 4: Divide the numerator by the wavelength Now, divide the result by the wavelength: \[ D = \frac{4 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2}{4 \times 10^{-7} \, m} = 1 \, m \] ### Final Answer The separation between the slits and the screen is: \[ D = 1 \, m \]
