Q.

Two light waves of wavelengths 800 and 600 nm are used in Young’s double slit experiment to obtain interference fringes on a screen placed 7 m away from plane of slits. If the two slits are separated by 0.35 mm, then shortest distance from the central bright maximum to the point where the bright fringes of the two wavelength coincide will be ________ mm.                   [2023]


Ans.

(48)

ω1=λ1Dd and ω2=λ2Dd

ω1=16 mm   and   ω2=12 mm

so LCM(ω1,ω2)=48 mm

so at 48mm distance both bright fringes will be found.
