  • A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 650 nm and 520 nm, is used to obtain interference fringes in a Young’s double-slit experiment. (b) What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths

Q10.6  A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 650 nm and 520 nm, is used to obtain interference fringes in a Young’s double-slit experiment.

            (b) What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide?

Let the nth bright fringe due to wavelength, \lambda_2 and (n − 1)thbright fringe due to wavelength\lambda_1 coincide on the screen. We can equate the conditions for bright fringes as:

n\lambda_2=(n-1)\lambda _1

520n=650n-650

650=130n

n=5

Hence, the least distance from the central maximum can be obtained by the relation:

X=n\frac{\lambda_2D}{d}=5*\frac{520*10^{-9}*D}{d}

Hence we can find out X if D and d are given.
