In a double slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is place 1 m away. A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of double slit within the central maxima of single slit pattern?
Double slit experiment
Step 1: Given data
Monochromatic light of wavelength
The two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 1 m away i.e.,
Step 2 : Formula used
Fringe width in double-slit pattern:
Step 3: Calculating the width of the fringe
Hence, the width of the fringe is
