YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is 0.4 mm. What is the distance between 44th dark band and 66th bright band on the same side of the interference pattern?

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. 6th bright =6β= 6\beta, 4th dark =3.5β= 3.5\beta
  3. Distance =2.5β=2.5×0.4=1.0= 2.5\beta = 2.5\times0.4 = 1.0 mm, so the answer is (c).
