In Young's double slit experiment the separation d between the slits is 2 mm the wavelength of the light used is 5896 and distance D between the screen and slits is 100 cm. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is . To increase the fringe angular width to (with same 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
