    In a double-slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 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?

    A)  0.2 mm                       

    B)  0.1 mm

    C)  0.5 mm                       

    D)  0.02 mm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given distance between two slits, \[d=1\text{ }mm={{10}^{-3}}m\] And distance of screen from slits, D = 1 m The wavelength of monochromatic light used, \[\lambda =500\,nm\,=500\times {{10}^{-9}}\,m\] Width of each slit a=? Width of central maxima in single slit pattern \[\beta '=\frac{2\lambda D}{a}\] Fringe width in double-slit experiment \[\beta =\frac{\lambda D}{d}\] So, required condition\[\frac{10\lambda D}{d}=\frac{2\lambda D}{a}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[a=\frac{d}{5D}=\frac{1}{5}\times {{10}^{-3}}\,m=0.2\,mm\]
