YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is 2 mm2\text{ mm}. The separation between the 1313th bright fringe and the 44th dark fringe from the centre of the screen on same side will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. nnth bright: y=nβy = n\beta; nnth dark: y=(n−12)βy = (n - \frac{1}{2})\beta
  2. 13th bright =13β=26= 13\beta = 26 mm, 4th dark =3.5β=7= 3.5\beta = 7 mm
  3. Separation =26−7=19= 26 - 7 = 19 mm, so the answer is (c).
