Practicing Success
In Young's double Slit experiment $3^{rd}$ maxima (Bright Band) is obtained at a distance $d_1$ from the central bright fringe when light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is used and at a distance $d_2$ when light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ is used. What will be the ratio of $d_1$ and $d_2$? |
$\frac{\lambda_1^2}{\lambda_2^2}$ $\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}$ $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}}$ |
$\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ Distance of nth maxima from the central bright fringe $x=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}$ $x_3=\frac{3 \lambda D}{d}=d_1$ ......(i) $x'_3=\frac{3 \lambda_2 D}{d}=d_2$ ......(ii) $\frac{d_1}{d_2}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ |
