Optics Question 896

Question: In YDSE a light containing two wavelengths 500 nm and 700 nm are used. Find the minimum distance where maxima of two wavelengths coincide. Given D/d=103 , where D is the distance between the slits and the screen and d is the distance between the slits.

Options:

A) 1.2 m

B) 3.5 mm

C) 2.8 cm

D) 8.1 mm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] At the place where maxima for both the wavelengths coincide, y will be same for both the maxima, i.e.,

n1λ1Dd=n2λ2Ddn1n2=λ1λ2=700500=75

Minimum integral value of n2 is 5.

Minimum distance of maxima of the two Wave lengths fr 1 om central fringe n1λ2Dd=5×700×109×103=3.5mm.
