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

  • question_answer
    In Young double slit experiment, when two light waves form third minimum, they have                [RPMT 2003]

    A)            Phase difference of \[3\pi \]                                            

    B)            Phase difference of \[\frac{5\pi }{2}\]

    C)            Path difference of \[3\lambda \]                                    

    D)            Path difference of \[\frac{5\lambda }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       For minima, path difference \[\Delta =(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{2}\] For third minima \[n=3\Rightarrow \Delta =(2\times 3-1)\frac{\lambda }{2}=\frac{5\lambda }{2}\]
