In Young's double slit experiment (d)/(D) = 10^(-4) (d = distance between slits, D =distance of screen from the slits) At a point P on the screen the resulting intensity is equal to the intensity due to individual slit I_(0).Then the distance of point P from the central maximum is (lambda = 6000 Å) :

Answer»

2 mm
1 mm
`0.5 mm`
4 mm

Solution :`I = 4I_(0)COS^(2)((phi)/(2))`
As `I = I_(0)`
`THEREFORE I_(0) = 4I_(0) cos^(2)((phi)/(2))`
`therefore cos((phi)/(2)) = 1/2 Rightarrow (phi)/(2) = (pi)/(3)`
`phi = (2pi)/(3) = (2 pi)/(lambda).Deltax`
`therefore 1/3 = 1/(lambda).Deltax`
But `Deltax = (yd)/(D)`
`therefore 1/3 = 1/(lambda).(yd)/(D)`
`therefore y = (lambda)/(3((d)/(D)) = 2 xx 10^(-3)` m
`y = 2mm`.
