Q.
In a Young's double slit experiment, d=0.5mm and D=100cm It is found that 9th bright fringe is at a distance of 7.5mm from the second dark fringe of fringe pattern. The wavelength of light used is (in A˚)
For bright fringes, x=dnλD
where n=0,1,2,3,…
For dark fringes, x=2d(2n−1)λD
where n=1,2,3,…
As per question, d9λD−2d3λD=7.5×10−3m
or 2d15λD=7.5×10−3m or λ=15D2×7.5×10−3×d
Substituting the given values, we get λ=15×1m2×7.5×10−3m×0.5×10−3m =0.5×10−6m=5000A˚
