Wave Optics

  1. In Young’s double slit experiment carried out with light of wavelength (λ ) = 5000 Å, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the screen is at 200 cm from the slits. The central maximum is at x = 0. The third maximum (taking the central maximum as zeroth maximum) will be at x equal to
    1. 1.67 cm
    2. 1.5 cm
    3. 0.5 cm
    4. 5.0 cm
Correct Option: B

x = (n)λ
D
= 3 × 5000 × 10-10 ×
2
d0.2 × 10-3

= 1.5 × 10-2 m = 1.5 cm
