Practicing Success
The figure shows a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of Young’s double slit experiment $\mathrm{d}<<1$ and $\mathrm{d}<<\mathrm{D}, \frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{d}} << 1$ Choose the correct statement related to wavelength of light used. |
larger the wavelength of light larger the fringe width if white light is used in YDSE, then the violet color forms its first maxima closest to the central maxima the central maxima of all the wavelengths coincide all the above statements are correct |
all the above statements are correct |
Fringe width $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$, thus β ∝ λ The position of central maxima is independent of the wavelength of the light used. The position of the nth maxima, $\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{n} \lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}$ Thus, smaller the value of λ, lesser the value of yn |
