Optics Question 1135

Question: In Young’s double-slit experiment, an interference pattern is obtained on a screen by a light of wavelength $ 6000{AA} $ , coming from the coherent sources S1 and S2. At certain point P on the screen third dark fringe is formed. Then the path difference S1P ? S2P in microns is

Options:

A) 0.75

B) 1.5

C) 3.0

D) 4.5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For dark fringe at P $ S _{1}P-S _{2}P=\Delta =(2n-1)\lambda /2 $ .

Here n =3 and l = 6000 So, $ \Delta =\frac{5\lambda }{2}=5\times \frac{6000}{2}=15000{AA}=1.5\ micron $
