    The distance between the first dark and bright band formed in Young's double slit experiment with band width B is

    A)  \[\frac{B}{4}\]

    B)  \[B\]

    C)  \[\frac{B}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3B}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Position of nth bright fringe \[{{x}_{1}}=\frac{n\lambda D}{d}\] For first bright fringe \[n=1\] \[\therefore \] \[{{x}_{1}}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\] Position of nth dark fringe \[{{x}_{2}}=\frac{(2n-1)\lambda D}{2d}\] For first dark fringe \[n=1\] \[\therefore \] \[{{x}_{2}}=\frac{\lambda D}{2d}\] Now, \[{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}=\frac{\lambda D}{2d}\] If B is the band width, then \[{{x}_{1}}-{{x}_{2}}=\frac{B}{2}\]
