QNEET-2018-Ph-917: NEET 2018 Physics - Class 12 NEET-2018-Ph-917 Solution: In Young's double slit experiment the separation d between the…

In Young's double slit experiment the separation d between the slits is 2 mm the wavelength λ\lambda of the light used is 5896 A˚\text{\AA} and distance D between the screen and slits is 100 cm. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is 0.20∘0.20^\circ. To increase the fringe angular width to 0.21∘0.21^\circ (with same λ\lambda and D) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to 1.9 mm 1.8 mm 2.1 mm 1.7 mm

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 1.9 mm
  • B 1.8 mm
  • C 2.1 mm
  • D 1.7 mm

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Angular width = _ d _ 0.20 o = _ 2 _ _ = 0.2 _ 2 Again, 0.21 o = _ d So using value of _, we have d = 0.20 _ 2 0.21 = 1.9 mm
