    In a Youngs double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is 0.9 mm 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 of the monochromatic source of light used is

    A)  450 nm               

    B)  400 nm

    C)  500 nm         

    D)         600 nm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The distance between two consecutive dark or bright fringes is recognized as \[\beta \](fringe width) and that between central fringe and first dark fringe on either side is\[\frac{\beta }{2}\]. Given, spacing between second dark fringe and central fringe\[=\beta +\frac{\beta }{2}\]. or            \[\frac{3\beta }{2}=1mm\]                          (Given) or            \[\beta =\frac{2}{3}\times 1mm\]            or            \[\frac{\lambda D}{d}=\frac{2}{3}mm\] \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =\frac{2}{3}\times {{10}^{-3}}\times \frac{0.9\times {{10}^{-3}}}{1}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\lambda =0.6\times {{10}^{-6}}m\] \[\therefore \]Wavelength of the monochromatic source of light \[\therefore \]  \[\lambda =600\times {{10}^{-9}}m=600\,\,nm\]
