In Young's double slit arrangement, slits are separated

Question:

In Young's double slit arrangement, slits are separated by a gap of $0.5 \mathrm{~mm}$, and the screen is placed at a distance of $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ from them. The distance between the first and the third bright fringe formed when the slits are illuminated by a monochromatic light of $5890$A is :-

  1. $1178 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}$

  2. $1178 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}$

  3. $1178 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}$

  4. $5890 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}$


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

(2)

$\beta=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{5890 \times 10^{-10} \times 0.5}{0.5 \times 10^{-3}}$

$=589 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}$

Distance between first and third bright fringe is $2 \beta=2 \times 589 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}$'

$=1178 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}$

Ans.(b)
