    In double slit experiment, the distance between two slits is 0.6 mm and these are illuminated with light of wavelength \[4800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]. The angular width of first dark fringe on the screen distant 120 cm from slits will be:

    A)  \[\text{8 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}\,\text{rad}\]                                   

    B)         \[\text{6 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}\,\text{rad}\]

    C)         \[\text{4 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}\,\text{rad}\]                                   

    D)         \[\text{16 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-4}}}\,\text{rad}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Destructive interference occurs when the path difference is an odd multiple of\[\lambda /2.\] i.e.,        \[\frac{xd}{D}=\frac{(2n-1)\lambda }{2}\] Angular width of first dark fringe is \[\frac{2x}{D}=\frac{2(2n-1)\lambda }{2d}\] Given, \[n=1,\lambda =4800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,=4800\times {{10}^{-10}}m,\] \[d=0.6\,mm=0.6\times {{10}^{-3}}\,m\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{2x}{D}=\frac{2(2\times 1-1)\times 4800\times {{10}^{-10}}}{2\times 0.6\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[=8\times {{10}^{-4}}\,\,rad\]
