    In Youngs double slit experiment, the slits are 2 mm apart and are illuminated  by  photons  of two wavelengths   \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=12000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]      and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=10000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,.\]At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen 2 m from the slit will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?

    A)  8 mm           

    B)  6 mm

    C)  4 mm           

    D)  3 mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Given \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=12000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=10000\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,,\] \[D=2\,cm\]and \[d=2\,mm=2\times {{10}^{-3}}\,cm.\] We have \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{{{h}_{2}}}{{{h}_{1}}}\] \[=\frac{12000}{10000}=\frac{6}{5}\] as  \[x=\frac{{{u}_{1}}{{\lambda }_{1}}D}{d}=\frac{5\times 12000\times {{10}^{-10}}\times 2}{2\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=5\times 1.2\times {{10}^{4}}\times {{10}^{-10}}\times {{10}^{3}}=6\,mm\]
