    In double slit experiment, the angular width of interference fringes with sodium light \[(\lambda =5890\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,)\] is \[{{0.20}^{o}}\]. The change in wavelength required to increase the angular width by \[10%\] will be:

    A)  zero

    B)  increased by \[6479\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]  

    C)  increased by \[589\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D)  decreased by \[589\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Angular fringe width\[\theta =\frac{\beta }{D}=\frac{\lambda }{2d}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{\theta '}{\theta }=\frac{\lambda '}{\lambda }\] or            \[\frac{\theta '-\theta }{\theta }=\frac{\lambda '-\lambda }{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta \lambda =\frac{\Delta \theta }{\theta }\lambda \] Given,   \[\frac{\Delta \theta }{\theta }=10%,\,\,\lambda =5890{\AA}\]                 \[\Delta \lambda =\frac{10}{1000}\times 5890=589{\AA}\] Hence, fringe width increases by 589A.
