    In double slit experiment, the distance between two slits is 0.6 mm and these are illuminated with light of wavelength \[4800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The angular width of first dark fringe on the screen distant 120 cm from slits will be :

    A)  \[8\times {{10}^{-4}}\]rad    

    B)  \[6\times {{10}^{-4}}\]rad

    C)  \[4\times {{10}^{-4}}\]rad    

    D)  \[16\times {{10}^{-4}}\]rad

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Destructive interference occurs when the path difference is an odd multiple of \[\lambda /2\]. i.e.,        \[\frac{xd}{D}=\frac{(2n-1)\,\lambda }{2}\] Angular width of first dark fringe is                 \[\frac{2x}{D}=\frac{2\,(2n-1)\,\lambda }{2\,d}\] Given, \[n=1,\,\lambda =4800\,\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,=4800\times {{10}^{-10}}m\],                 \[d=0.6\,mm=0.6\,\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{2\,x}{D}=\frac{2\,(2\times 1-1)\times 4800\times {{10}^{-10}}}{2\times 0.6\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=8\times {{10}^{-4}}\]rad
