Vedclass · Answer

(B) The position of the $n^{th}$ maxima for wavelength $\lambda_1$ is given by $y_n = \frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d}$.The position of the $m^{th}$ maxima for wavelength $\lambda_2$ is given by $y_m = \frac{m \lambda_2 D}{d}$.Since the maxima coincide exactly in front of one of the slits,the distance from the central fringe is $y = \frac{d}{2}$.Thus,$\frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{d}{2} \implies n \lambda_1 = \frac{d^2}{2D} = \frac{(3 	imes 10^{-3})^2}{2 	imes 1.5} = \frac{9 	imes 10^{-6}}{3} = 3 	imes 10^{-6} \ m = 30000 \ \mathring{A}$.Similarly,$m \lambda_2 = 30000 \ \mathring{A}$.For option $B$: $n=5, m=6$. Then $\lambda_1 = \frac{30000}{5} = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = \frac{30000}{6} = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$.Both wavelengths $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $5000 \ \mathring{A}$ lie within the given range $4500 \ \mathring{A} Therefore,the correct values are $n=5, m=6, \lambda_1 = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$.

In Young's double slit experiment,the central bright fringe can be identified

In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width will remain the same if ($D =$ distance between screen and plane of slits,$d =$ separation between two slits,and $\lambda =$ wavelength of light used).

Two slits are $1 \, mm$ apart from each other and the distance of the screen is $1 \, m$. If illuminated with light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-7} \, m$,the distance between the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe and the $5^{th}$ bright fringe is......$mm$.

$A$ light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is incident on a Young's double-slit. The distance between the slits and the screen is $D = 1.8 \, m$ and the distance between the slits is $d = 0.4 \, mm$. If the screen moves with a speed of $4 \, m/s$,with what speed will the first maxima move? (in $mm/s$)
