In a Young's double slit experiment 15 fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength 500 nm is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength λ is used. Then the value of λ is (in nm) __________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The length of the screen used portion for 15 fringes, and also for ten fringes

15 × 500 × Dλ = 10 × λDλ

⇒ 15 × 50 =λ

⇒ λ = 750 nm
