    White light used to illuminate the two slits in Young's double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is d and the distance between the screen and the slit is D(>>d). At a point on the screen in front of one of the slits, certain wave- lengths are missing. The missing wavelengths are

    A) \[\lambda =\frac{{{d}^{2}}}{(2n+1)D}\]

    B) \[\lambda =\frac{(2n+1){{d}^{2}}}{D}\]

    C) \[\lambda =\frac{{{d}^{2}}}{(n+1)D}\]

    D) \[\lambda =\frac{(n+1)D}{{{d}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{n}^{th}}\] minimum has a distance from the centre \[=x=(2n+1)\frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda D}{d}\] For a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, \[x=d/2\] \[\therefore \] for minimum intensity in front of one of the slits \[\frac{d}{2}=(2n+1)\frac{\lambda }{2}\frac{D}{d}\]   \[\therefore \,\,\,\lambda =\frac{{{d}^{2}}}{(2n+1)D}\]
