In a Young's double slit experiment, bi - chromatic light of wavelengths 400 nm and 560 nm are used.The distance between slits is 0.1 mm and distance between plane of slits and screen is 1 m.The minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness is :

Answer»

4 mm
5.6 mm
14 mm
28 mm

Solution :Let pth minima of 400 nm coincide with 9TH minima of 560 nm.
`therefore (2p - 1) (lambda_(1))/(2) = (2Q -1)(lambda_(2))/(2)`
`(2p - 1) .(400)/(2) = (2q -1)(560)/(2)`
`therefore (2p -1)/(2q -1) = (21)/(15) =(7)/(5)`
i.e..4th minima of 400 nm coincides with 3rd minima of 560 nm
POSITION of this minima is
`y_(1) = (2p -1).(lambda_(1))/(2)(D)/(d)`
` = (2 xx 4 -1) ((400 xx10^(-9))/(2 xx 0.1 xx 10^(-3)) = 14 mm`
Further 11th minima of 400 nm will coincide with 8th minima of 560nm(ratio (21)/(15)).
Position of this minima is
`y_(2) = (2 xx 11 -1)400 xx 10^(-9))/(2 xx 0.1 xx 10^(-3)) = 42 nm`
`therefore y_(2) - y_(1) = 42 - 14 = 28 mm`.
