Optics 6 Question 34
36. A light source, which emits two wavelengths and , is used in a Young’s double-slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for and are and and the number of fringes for them within a distance on one side of the central maximum are and , respectively, then
(a)
(2014 Adv.)
(b)
(c) from the central maximum, 3rd maximum of
(d) the angular separation of fringes of
Show Answer
Solution:
- Fringe width
Number of fringes in a given width
Distance of 3 rd maximum of
Distance of 5 th minimum of
So, 3 rd maximum of
Angular separation (or angular fringe width)
