Q.
What would be the angular separation between the consecutive bright fringes in Young's double slit experiment with blue green light of wavelength 400mm ? The separation between the slits is 0.001m.
Given, in Young's double slit experiment,
Wavelength, λ=400×10−9m
Separation between slits d=0.001m=1×10−3m
As we know that, λ=dsinθ and for very small value of θ,sinθ≈θ ∴θ=dλ=10−3400×10−9=4×10−4rad
