    In a Young's double slit experiment, if the incident light consists of two wavelengths \[{{\lambda }_{1}}\]and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}\], the slit separation is d, and the distance between the slit and the screen is D, the maxima due to the two wavelengths will coincide at a distance from the central maxima, given by:

    A) \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}{{\lambda }_{2}}}{2\,Dd}\]     

    B) \[({{\lambda }_{1}}-{{\lambda }_{2}}).\frac{2d}{D}\]

    C) LCM of \[{{\lambda }_{1}}.\frac{D}{d}\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}.\frac{D}{d}\]

    D) HCF of \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}D}{d}\] and \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}D}{d}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] \[{{y}_{n}}=\frac{nD{{\lambda }_{1}}}{d}=\frac{(n+1)D{{\lambda }_{2}}}{d}\] or \[n=\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}-{{\lambda }_{1}}} \right)\] and \[{{y}_{n}}=\left( \frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}{{\lambda }_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}-{{\lambda }_{1}}} \right)\left( \frac{D}{d} \right)\].
