    In Youngs double slit experiment, two slits are separated by 1 m. The slits are illuminated by a light of wavelength 650 nm. The source of light is placed symmetrically with respect to the two slits. Interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance of 1 m from the slits. The distance between the third dark fringe and the fifth bright fringe from the centre of the pattern will be

    A)  1.62 mm        

    B)  2.62 mm

    C)  5.62 mm        

    D)  3.62 mm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Distance of third dark fringe                 \[{{x}_{1}}=\left( 3-\frac{1}{2} \right)\,\frac{D\lambda }{d}=\frac{5}{2}\times \frac{1\times 650\times {{10}^{-9}}}{1\times {{10}^{-3}}}\]                  = 1.62 mm Distance of fifth bright fringe                 \[{{x}_{2}}=5\frac{D\lambda }{d}=3.24mm\] \[\therefore \] Required distance \[={{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}}\] \[=3.24=1.62\,\,mm\]
