YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

In Young's double slit experiment, when light of wavelength 600 nm is used, 18 fringes are observed on the screen. If the wavelength of light is changed to 400 nm, the number of fringes observed on the screen is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Same region: n1λ1=n2λ2n_1\lambda_1 = n_2\lambda_2
  2. n2=18×600400=27n_2 = \frac{18 \times 600}{400} = 27
  3. So the answer is (b) 27.
