JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Young's Double Slit Experiment and Biprism

  • question_answer
    In a Young?s double slit experiment, the slit separation is 1 mm and the screen is 1 m from the slit. For a monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm, the distance of 3rd minima from the central maxima is          [Orissa JEE 2003]

    A)            0.50 mm                                 

    B)            1.25 mm

    C)            1.50 mm                                 

    D)            1.75 mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Distance of nth minima from central bright fringe \[{{x}_{n}}=\frac{(2n-1)\lambda D}{2d}\] For n=3 i.e. 3rd minima \[{{x}_{3}}=\frac{(2\times 3-1)\times 500\times {{10}^{-9}}\times 1}{2\times 1\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=\frac{5\times 500\times {{10}^{-6}}}{2}=1.25\times {{10}^{-3}}m=1.25\ mm.\]
