  • question_answer
    In a Youngs double slit experiment, the slit separation is 1 mm and the screen in 1 m from the slit. For a monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm, the distance of 3rd minima from central maxima is

    A)  0.50 mm             

    B)  1.25 mm

    C)  1.50mm              

    D)  1.75mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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