    In Youngs double slit experiment, the spacing between the slits is d and wavelength of light used is 6000\[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\]. If the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is \[1{}^\circ \], then value of d is:

    A) 1 mm                    

    B)        0.05 mm

    C)                        0.03 mm              

    D) 0.01 mm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\sin \theta \simeq \theta =\frac{y}{D}\] So,                          \[\Delta \theta =\frac{\Delta y}{D}\] Angular fringe width \[{{\theta }_{0}}=\Delta \theta \] (width \[\Delta y=\beta \]) \[{{\theta }_{0}}=\frac{\beta }{D}=\frac{D\lambda }{d}\times \frac{1}{D}=\frac{\lambda }{d}\] \[{{\theta }_{0}}={{1}^{o}}=\frac{\pi }{180}\,\,\text{rad}\] And \[\lambda =6\times {{10}^{-7}}\,m\]                 \[d=\frac{\lambda }{{{\theta }_{0}}}=\frac{180}{\pi }\times 6\times {{10}^{-7}}\]                 \[=3.44\times {{10}^{-5}}m\] \[=0.03\,mm\]
