Q10.4   In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.28 mm and the screen is placed 1.4 m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

Given,

Distance between screen and slit D=1.4m

Distance between slits d=0.28mm=0.28*10^{-3}m

Distance between central and fourth bright fringe u=1.2cm=1.2*10^{-2}m

Now,

as we know, the distance between two fringes in a constructive interference is given by 

u=n\lambda \frac{D}{d}

where n= order of fringe (which is 4 here) and \lambda is the wavelength of light we are using.

so from here,

\lambda = \frac{ud}{nD}=\frac{1.2*10^{-2}*0.28*10^{-3}}{4*1.4}=6*10^{-7}m

Hence wavelength os the light is 600nm
