Optics Question 467

Question: In Young’s double-slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is 1. The wavelength of light used is 6000Ao . What is the spacing between the slits?

Options:

A) 344 mm

B) 0.1344 mm

C) 0.0344 mm

D) 0.034 mm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] In Young’s double slit fringe with sinθ=θ=y/D

So, Δy/D and hence angular fringe width θ0=Δθ(withΔy=β) Will be θ0=βD=Dλd×1D=λd

θ0=10=(π180) rad, and λ=6×107m Or d=λθ0=180π×(6×107)=3.44×105m Or d=0.0344mm
