A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths 800nm and 600nm is used to obtain the interference fringes in a Young's double slit experiment on a screen placed 1.4m away. If the two slits are separated by 0.28mm, calculate the least distance from the central bright maximum where the bright fringes of the two wavelengths coincide.

Answer»

Solution :The two bright fringes will coincide when
`mlambda_(1)=(m+1)lambda_(2)`
`mxx800xx10^(-9)=(m+1)xx600xx10^(-9)`
`:.m=3`
`X_(m)=(mDlambda_(1))/(d)`
`=((3xx1.4xx800xx10^(-9)))/((0.28xx10^(-3)))m`
`=12XX10^(-3)m`
