YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

Graph shows the variation of fringe width ( X) versus distance of the screen from the plane of the slits (D) in Young's double slit experiment. (keeping other parameters same, d=d = distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. X=λDdX = \frac{\lambda D}{d}, a straight line through the origin in an XX–DD graph.
  2. Slope =λd⇒λ=slope×d= \frac{\lambda}{d} \Rightarrow \lambda = \text{slope} \times d
  3. So the answer is (d) slope ×d\times d.
