  • question_answer
    In a Young's experiment, two coherent sources are placed 0.90 mm apart and the fringes are observed one metre away. If it produces the second dark fringe at a distance of 1 mm from the central fringe, the wavelength of monochromatic light used would be [CBSE PMT 1992; KCET 2004]

    A)            \[60\times {{10}^{-4}}cm\]    

    B)            \[10\times {{10}^{-4}}cm\]

    C)            \[10\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]    

    D)            \[6\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Distance of \[{{n}^{th}}\] dark fringe from central fringe \[{{x}_{n}}=\frac{(2n-1)\lambda \,D}{2d}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,{{x}_{2}}=\frac{(2\times 2-1)\lambda \,D}{2d}=\frac{3\lambda \,D}{2d}\] \[\Rightarrow 1\times {{10}^{-3}}=\frac{3\times \lambda \times 1}{2\times 0.9\times {{10}^{-3}}}\Rightarrow \lambda =6\times {{10}^{-5}}\,cm\]
