    In a Youngs experiment, two coherent sources are placed 0.90 mm apart and the fringes are observed one metre away. If it produces the second dark fringe at a distance of 1 mm from the central fringe, the wavelength monochromatic light used would be

    A) \[60\times {{10}^{-4}}cm\]         

    B)         \[10\times {{10}^{-4}}cm\]

    C)  \[10\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]        

    D)         \[6\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Distance of nth dark fringe from central fringe \[{{x}_{n}}=\frac{(2n-1)\lambda D}{2d}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{x}_{2}}=\frac{(2\times 2-1)\lambda D}{2d}\]                                 \[=\frac{3\lambda D}{2d}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}=\frac{3\lambda \times 1}{2\times 0.9\times {{10}^{-3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =6\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\]
