Question

In Young’s experiment on interference of light a fringe of width 0.04 cm is obtained on a screen placed at a distance of 50 cm from the slits when the wavelength of the light used is 5000 Ã…. If the distance of the screen from the slits remains unchanged, what will be the width of the fringe if light of wavelength 4000 Ã… is used? 

Solution

Correct option is

0.032 cm

 

If the distance between the slits be d, the distance of the srceen from the slits be D and the wavelength of light  be λ, then the width of the fringe is given by
