Question

# In a Youngs double experiment, the slits are $$1.5\ mm$$ apart. When the slits are illuminated by a monochromatic light source and the screen is kept $$1\ m$$ apart from the slits, width of $$10$$ fringes is measured as $$3.93\ mm$$. Calculate the wavelength of light used. What will be the width of $$10$$ fringes when the distance between the slits and the screen is increased by $$0.5\ m$$. The source of light used remains the same.

Solution

## We know,Fringe width=$$\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$$Here fringe width in 1st case =$$\dfrac{3.93}{10}=0.393 mm$$$$D=1000mm$$, $$d=1.5mm$$$$\lambda=\dfrac{0.393\times 1.5}{1000}=\dfrac{3.393\times 1.5}{10000}$$$$\lambda=5.0895\times 10^{-4}mm$$$$=508.95 nm$$Now , fringe width of 10 fringes when $$d=1.5+0.5=2.0m$$Let initial and final fringe width of 10 fringes be $$f_i,f_f$$$$\dfrac{f_i}{f_f}=\dfrac{d_f}{d_i}=\dfrac{2}{1.5}=\dfrac{4}{3}$$$$f_f=\dfrac{3.93\times 4}{3}=52.4mm$$Physics
