Question:

In Young's double slit experiment, distance between the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is d and the distance between slits and screen is D. Then first missing wavelength on the screen in front of $S_1$ is

Options:

$\frac{d^2}{D}$

$\frac{d^2}{2D}$

$\frac{D}{d^2}$

None of these

Correct Answer:

$\frac{d^2}{D}$

Explanation:

Path difference, $Δx=\frac{d^2}{2D}$

For first missing wavelength,

$\frac{d^2}{2D}=\frac{λ}{2}$ or $λ=\frac{d^2}{D}$
