    In Youngs double-slit experiment, the angular width of fringe formed on a distant screen is\[0.1{}^\circ \]. If wavelength of light used is\[6000\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\] then spacing between the slits is:

    A)  \[3.44\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]

    B)  \[4.33\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]

    C)  \[5.44\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]

    D)  \[6.33\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Angular fringe width \[\alpha =0.1{}^\circ \] \[=\frac{0.1\times \pi }{180}\] \[=1.74\times {{10}^{-3}}rad\] \[\lambda =6000\overset{o}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] \[=6000\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] \[=6\times {{10}^{-7}}m\] The angular fringe width is \[\alpha =\frac{\lambda }{d}\] (where d is the separation between the slits) \[\Rightarrow \] \[d=\frac{\lambda }{\alpha }\] \[=\frac{6\times {{10}^{-7}}}{1.746\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=3.44\times {{10}^{-4}}m\]
