Light of wavelength 6000Å is incident on a slit of width 0.30 mm. The screen is placed 2 m from the slit. Find (a) the position of the first dark fringe and (b). The width of the central bright fringe. |
Answer» The first fringe is on either side of the central bright fringe. here `n=+-1,D=2m,lamda=6000Å=6xx10^(-7)m` `thereforesintheta=(x)/(D)impliesa=0.30mm=3xx10^(-4)m` `impliesasintheta=nlamdaimplies(ax)/(D)=nlamda` (a). `x=(nlamdaD)/(a)impliesx=+-[(1xx6xx10^(-7)xx2)/(3xx10^(-4))]=+-4xx10^(-3)m` The positive and negative signs corresponds to the dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe. (b). The width of the central bright fringe `y=2x=2xx4xx10^(-3)=8xx10^(-3)m=8mm` |
