Wave Optics

  1. In Young’s experiment, two coherent sources are placed 0.90 mm apart and fringe are observed one metre away. If it produces second dark fringe at a distance of 1 mm from central fringe, the wavelength of monochromatic light used would be
    1. 60 × 10–4 cm
    2. 10 × 10–4 cm
    3. 10 × 10–5 cm
    4. 6 × 10–5 cm
Correct Option: D

For dark fringe

x = (2n - 1)
λD
2d

∴ λ =
2xd
=
2 × 10-3 × 0.9 × 10-3
(2n - 1)D(2 × 2 - 1)× 1

​λ = 0.6 × 10–6 m = 6 × 10–5 cm
