    In Youngs double slit experiment with sodium vapour lamp of wavelength 589 nm and the slits 0.589 mm apart, the half angular width of the central maximum is

    A)  \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left( 0.01 \right)\]

    B)  \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left( 0.0001 \right)\]

    C)  \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left( 0.001 \right)~\]

    D)  \[si{{n}^{-1}}\left( 0.1 \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In Youngs double slit experiment half angular width is given by \[\sin \theta =\frac{\lambda }{d}\] \[=\frac{589\times {{10}^{-9}}}{0.589\times {{10}^{-3}}}={{10}^{-3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\theta ={{\sin }^{-1}}(0.001)\]
